Mac Pro Internal Storage Specs: 2013 Mac Proįour 3.I'll be perfectly candid.i HATED Macs of ANY kind until 3-4 years ago. Upgrading to the relatively modest maximum 1TB of internal storage upon purchase will most likely be fairly expensive, though the drive slot being user-accessible makes it a possibility to wait and upgrade at a later date when PCIe SSD drives start to become more inexpensive. It is fast, potentially up to 2.5 times faster than SATA based SSDs, and up to 10 times faster than a 7200 RPM SATA hard drive, but with only one slot, it is not particularly expandable.

The new Mac Pro will only use PCIe Flash Based Storage internally. There are no standard hard drives offered with the 2013 Mac Pro. The drive slot is user-accessible, so the drive can be upgraded or replaced after purchase. They are pushing Thunderbolt peripherals very aggressively with this machine, the idea being you would just use Thunderbolt connected media for external bulk storage. This was a definite design decision on the part of Apple, however. There is only one drive slot as well, so again, internal drive bay expansion is limited. The base option is 256GB, configurable to 512GB or 1TB upon purchase. The downside is the internal SSDs are of limited size.

This is definitely one of the faster options that will be available on the market.

The 2013 Mac Pro will come standard with a Solid State Drive (SSD) connected via a PCIe port for faster data transfer rates as compared to standard SATA III.
