The Lacie card only supports Lacie products and the driver does not work with Mountain Lion. I purchased this card and had to return it. I then thought of purchasing the Sonnet Allegro USB 3.0 PCIe card. On closer reading on their product page: this card does not support USB 3.0 hubs! How dumb is that. So you are stuck with two ports. There's more. ![]() They now have a warning that they have issues with Mountain Lion. Where have they been? Don't they keep up with new software releases? Why doesn't Apple give us USB 3.0 drivers? Is it because they are pushing Thunderbolt? Mr Cooke, please stop alienating your customers by pushing for new technologies (something I hope you will continued doing) while deserting owners of older hardware that can't afford to keep updating their machines. Adds SuperSpeed USB Connectivity—Adds four USB 3.0 ports to your Mac Pro with PCIe slots, Windows PC, or Thunderbolt-to-PCIe card expansion chassis; transfers data up to 10x faster than over USB 2.0 connections. In case you haven't noticed, things are rather tought at the moment so we can't all go out and purchase the latest laptops in order to have access to USB 3.0. Does anyone know of a card that will work in a Mac Pro AND work with USB 3.0 hubs AND Mountain Lion? I've looked and looked and can't find anything.

Does anyone know of a card that will work in a Mac Pro AND work with USB 3.0 hubs AND Mountain Lion? I've looked and looked and can't find anything. I also looked at the Sonnet Allegro USB 3.0 PCIe card. I wrote to them asking if it supported Mountain Lion and USB 3.0 hubs. The reply was both good and bad. Good in that: 'The card will work in your Mac Pro and we released a driver last week that adds 10.8.x compatibility. So that part works. What won't work is your hub as we state in tech note#1 on the product page' Bad in that, sppecifically, the tech note states: The Mac OS X driver for this card does not support most USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. IPod and iPhones are not supported. USB 3.0 hubs are not suported. Non-storage devices are not supported So much for the word Universal in Universal Serial Bus. And this is what infuriates me about Apple. The new Macbook Pro has two USB 3.0 ports so obviously Apple has drivers for USB 3.0. There is no fine print that the USB 3.0 ports won't work with this or that. So why doesn't Apple make a card for its legacy customers? Or release native drivers for its older machines? The cynical answer is that Apple wants us to upgrade our machines. I have a money tree that allows me to upgrade all my laptops (3 of them) and my Mac Pro every time Apple introduces new products. It is this type of arrogance that will see Apple's share price come down to where Microsoft's is. Apple pushes the boundaries of design and technology but leaves its existing customer base behind.
