    I have a Mac Pro (early 2008).

    I added an SSD drive to it, I put it under the DVD drive and attached it with a SATA cable to a spare port that the mainboard has, it was a bit of a pain in the ass to pass the cable from the mainboard to the area where the DVD drive is.

    It won't go at its full speed since the port is SATA 2 but it's way faster than normal drives.

    I didn't want to use a special case for it or use any of the 4 hard drive slots.

    • The drive I used is a Samsung 840 Pro 128GBernexbcn
