I would like to comment on all these “Youtuber’s” who try to put PC parts in the Mac Pro’s and then complain when
They wont work. Do these people realize how dumb they make themselves look?
It’s a Mac and NOT a PC.
Would you try to put Ford parts in a Ferrari and then complain to Ferrari that the parts won’t work?
Just because the connections look compatible does not mean the parts will work.
It mainly has to do with Mac OSX Driver support and the firmware’s.
Yes, the Mac still uses “Proprietary hardware”.
And I think that is a good thing. but I think Apple hardware prices are too high for some of there mac’s.
In order to compete with competition.
Today, the Apple ecosystem is dominating the computer industry and I don’t see any response from the PC builders.
Only these “Youtubers” that complain that their PC components wont work in a Mac?.....
Apple has always been hardware proprietary. Apple does NOT guarantee third party hardware will work in there Macs.
That is up to the third party vendor to provide compatibility.
If the item package does NOT read “Mac compatible” then it probably wont work.
I just think their is allot of confusion with computer hardware and people trying to put unsupported hardware in the wrong computers. Even more so today than ever. maybe there should be some sort of stamp or markings printed on the hardware as to what computers they work in.
Building and Fixing computers should NOT have to be difficult.
Just like build codes and building materials and tools today are all color coded and numbered so people
Can see just by the Color of the item where they fit and where to use them.
