If you have a Mac Pro and want to take advantage of USB 3.0 speeds, don't fret. HighPoint gives your system USB 3.0 compatibility with the, a PCI Express card with four USB 3.0 ports. The RocketU works with most USB 3.0 drives available and gives a speed boost to USB 2.0 drives. To evaluate the card, we used a Mac Pro with a 2.66GHz quad core Xeon processor, 3GB of RAM, and an internal Hitachi hard drive with 640GB of storage capacity. We installed the RocketU into an empty PCI Express x16 slot, but you can also plug it into an x4 slot. After inserting the card into the Mac Pro, powering up the machine, and installing the drivers, the card was ready to go. The best thing about the card is that it functions with all sorts of external hard drive brands.

Other USB 3.0 cards we’ve looked at were made to operate with drives from specific companies, severely limiting what you could work with. We tried eight different USB 3.0 drives, ranging from portable and desktop hard drives to solid state drives (SSDs), and all of them mounted and were available for use on our Mac Pro.

The 10Gbps version of USB 3.1 that you probably think of when you think about USB 3.1 is called “USB 3.1 Gen 2.” Enlarge / The 'Enhanced SuperSpeed USB' spec calls for both 5Gbps (3.0).

To check for speed, we tested the drives through the USB 2.0 ports on the Mac Pro for a baseline result, and then performed the same tests using the RocketU. The drives that we tested saw a dramatic boost in performance when switching from USB 2.0 on the Mac Pro to the RocketU’s USB 3.0. The Western Digital 500GB ( ) wrote a 2GB folder at 29.8MBps and a 2GB file at 30.7MBps through USB 2.0. When attached to a RocketU USB 3.0 port, it wrote the 2GB folder at 59.7MBps and 2GB file at 65.4MBps.

We saw an even bigger boost when we tested the LaCie 500GB ( ); it recorded speeds of 30.2MBps and 32.9MBps in our 2GB folder and 2GB file write tests, respectively. When connected to the RocketU, the Rikiki posted speeds of 73.1MBps and 84.0MBps in our 2GB folder and 2GB file write tests.

Solid state drives really took off when connected to the RocketU, tripling their performance when using USB 2.0. The ioSafe ( ) gathered scores of 90.4MBps and 106.8MBps in our 2GB folder and 2GB file write tests, respectively. The 128GB posted a rate of 110.2MBps in the 2GB folder write test and 107.2MBps in the 2GB file write test. USB 2.0 drives when connected to the RocketU also got a bit of a speed boost, especially when writing files. The 500GB saw its 2GB folder write speeds increase from 30.4MBps to 37.1MBps. The 1TB ( ) saw its write speed jump from 32.0MBps to 41.7MBps.

Both drives posted rates over 40MBps in the AJA write tests. How does FireWire 800 compare to USB 3.0?

To find out, we tested the RocketU with the, which has both USB 3.0 and FireWire 800 ports. In our 2GB folder write test, the USB 3.0 rate was 84.2MBps, while the FireWire 800 rate was 71.6MBps. Transferring a 2GB file from the d2 Quadra was much faster via USB 3.0, with a rate of 103.5MBps compared to 82.4MBps connected to FireWire 800.
