Network cards for Mac Pro

Small Tree Communications has announced new high-performance networking and storage solutions for Apple's Mac Pro. Both multi-port copper Gigabit Ethernet and optical Gigabit Ethernet cards are ready to ship with support for Apple's new Mac Pro systems. "We are already shipping our 2-port PCIe cards to customers who want to use the new Mac Pro and its internal RAIDed disks as a file server, but realize that a performance bottleneck will occur without our multi-port cards," said Corky Seeber, president of Small Tree. The RoHS-compliant PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet cards for the new Mac Pro are available with one or two ports and either copper (two port version is $300) or optical (two port version is $1000) connections -- four port cards are in development, according to the company.
