Picked up a bunch of what were supposed to be 2.66 1,1 Mac Pros for what worked out to $50 each. In amongst them were 3 later machines. A couple of 2008 8 core 2.8 and a 2010 quad core 2.8 with 2 Radeon 5770s. All the machines are working fine except the 2010 which has an issue. None of the 4 drive connections work. I’m thinking about moving over from my currant 2008 2.8 8 core as in my case that isn’t that big an issue for me because both connections in the optical bays are working and I use 2 PCIe SSDs though I would be happier to have the drive bays working. I’m wondering if it’s the SATA ports or the power so I’m going to pick up a SATA extension cable and see if an externally powered drive will show up.
