- Mac Pro (2009-2010) - Installing Accelsior S into any open x4 or x16 PCIe 2.0 slot will deliver full throughput.
- Mac Pro (2008) - These models have two (2) PCIe 2.0 x16 slots, which enable Acceslsior S to deliver full throughput. Installing Accelsior S in of the two (2) PCIe 1.0 x4 slots will result in Accelsior S being addressed as a first generation one-lane card and will limit performance to 190-200MB/s real world data rates.
- Mac Pro (2006 - 2007) - These models have a PCIe 1.0 slot which cannot be configured to address Accelsior S as anything but as a first generation one-lane card, even with the Expansion Utility in OS X. As a result, Accelsior S performance will be limited to 190-200MB/s real world data rates. For maximum performance, we recommend installing a 2.5-inch OWC Mercury Electra 6G SSD in an open Mac Pro drive bay.
- PC - Use with a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot or better is recommended. Use with a PCIe 1.0 x4 slot will result in reduced performance.

This card disconnects from the computer every 3rd-4th boot and occasionally makes my Mac reboot. It eventually may work a PC, but for Mac it is generally dangerous.
