Super Fast with my MAC Pro

I put this card into my MAC Pro, and it works great. I did a lot of research on USB 3.o cards, and this one had the best reviews for the MAC.

It's OK, but not perfect

The main reason was to use the USB 3 speed on a Mac running 10.7 Lion. However while the drivers worked and the external hard drive appeared where it should, the speeds were the same as a USB 2 specification. The Drive a LaCie type would not work at all with the LaCie supplied USB 3.0 drivers.
