Late 2013 Mac Pro

I recently got a new Late 2013 Mac Pro. So far it has been a great upgrade from my Dell T3600 at work. I took a few pics of the external and some internal.

Good amount of ports.

  • 6x Thunderbolt 2
  • 4x USB3.0
  • 2x Gigabit Ethernet
  • 1x HDMI

 

The outline of the ports light up as well, nice touch.

 

One of the area where the ram is installed. Each area has 2x 8GB of ram for a total of 32GB running at DDR3 1866MHz. The left part on the pic shows one of the two ATI FirePro D500 3GB DDR5 video card, yes it comes with 2. The stick above the video card is the 500GB SSD hard drive. It runs off the PCI-Express.

 

Above is a pic of both ATI FirePro D500 video card.

 

Here is what the system detects when powered on.

 

A screenshot that shows almost all 12 threads maxed out when running Handbrake.

 

The SSD is very fast. Both read and write speeds are nearly identical.
