Yes, for a Mac. Nothing on the product description indicated that it would work on a Mac but I had seen a YouTube video using the Inateck card on a Mac Pro and figured it was the same and would work. The Inateck card was cheaper than some of the other options (which had more reviews) and what convinced me to get the Inateck was the fact that it CAME WITH CABLES. No need to purchase additional cables since they're provided in the box. Unlike the YouTube video, Inateck listened to the reviewers comments and provided 2 separate, short cables, that don't have all the clunky extra connectors on them. (For the record, you don't actually NEED to connect this card to a Power Source in the computer ... technically it needs it to be able to provide power the specified power to the USB device, however, most USB devices that you're connecting this to will have their OWN power source (like a Powered Hub or a Powered External USB hard-drive). So for those of you nervous about connecting the card to a power source, don't worry. Installation in the Mac Pro was a breeze. I had an open SATA hard-drive bay inside my Mac Pro and an open PCIe port. Inateck included 2 cables with the USB card ... a SATA to 4-pin Molex connector (the "old school" connectors that go to a power supply ... or to a DVD bay) and SATA "Y-cable" (SATA to SATA). For the Mac Pro I used the Y-cable. Note that you will need to connect this SATA cable to an open SATA port on the motherboard. The Mac Pro has 4 easy to install Hard-Drive bays. Normally you'd slide a hard-drive into the bay and it would mate with the SATA connector but for this installation you'll need to use one of these open SATA ports. I plugged the Inateck card into an open SATA port in my 4th hard-drive bay. Note that the SATA connector for a hard-drive is basically broken into 2 sections: POWER and DATA. The only part of the connector you need here is the 15-pin POWER section. Inateck provided a cable with the POWER section. *However*, you need to know that the cable provided by Inateck will NOT fit properly out of the package. You need to modify the cable slightly. I was a bit apprehensive to do this at first but once I did it, I laughed at how simple it is. The Y cable with SATA on all ends will need to be modified. Take the end of it that has only 1 connector, this is the side that goes onto the motherboard (either one of the "Y" ends will plug into the Inateck card). The connector has a plastic nub on either end, so it would fit in a normal SATA Power connector, however you'll have to cut one of these ends off to fit on the Mac Pro. You're not cutting the connector, its pins, or its wires, you're simple cutting off the plastic nub so the connector will fit onto the Mac Pro's motherboard. First, make note of which orientation the connector must mate. You'll see that one side of the connector meets the edge of the connector in your computer. The other end would normally have the DATA section of the cable but the Inateck cable doesn't have the data section and instead it has a square end of plastic. You need to cut this part of plastic off so that the SATA cable will mate on the motherboard of the Mac Pro. I used a pair of scissors and a file to get the plastic end cut off. Once you've done this simple modification you can use the cable for installation. To install in the Mac Pro: 1) Unplug the computer and touch something metal to ground yourself. 2) Unlock the case and take off the side door. 3) Lay the computer down. 4) There are 2 spring-loaded finger screws covering the available PCIe slots. Remove the 2 screws and take off the lock holding down the open PCIe cards. 5) Insert the Inateck USB card into an available PCIe slot (I used slot 3, for example). Make sure it's nice and snug in the PCIe slot NOTE 1: The Inateck card doesn't use the entire length of the PCIe connector. Don't worry, it still fits. NOTE 2: For some reason the 4th PCIe slot on the Mac Pro won't work. The computer will recognize the card but no power will be provided to your devices. This is a known issue and I found multiple references online to this. DON'T plug the card into the 4th PCIe slot. 6) Take one end of the SATA "Y-Connector", the side that has the "Y" with 2 of the same connector, and plug one of those into the Inateck card. 7) Take the other end of the SATA connector, the side that you cut the plastic off, and connect it to an available SATA POWER port in your Mac Pro (available hard-drive bay). 8) Put the PCIe cover back up using the spring-loaded finger screws. 9) Close up your computer 10) Power on and Enjoy. I ran a speed test using a Seagate 3 TB drive I picked up at Costco and was very impressed with the speeds. The "Disk Speed Test" I ran (by Blackmagicdesign) clocked read and write speeds in the 150-170mb/sec range (averaged around 160mb/sec). Pretty impressive! Glad it works on the mac, even if it's not advertised to. I did NOT need any drivers to make this work on the Mac. I'm using Mac OS X 10.9.1 (Mavericks) and the drivers are built into the computer. USB 3.0 drivers are included in Mac OS X 10.8.2+. Review: Great product to get your CPU up to date - I received this expansion card 3 days ago for install in a ten year old Gateway CPU still running Windows XP. I considered the model with the two internal 3.0 ports, but was unable to find any 3.0 ports to replace the existing 2.0 ports on the front of my tower. Radio Shack may have the ports but their prices are a little high, so I bought this model, plus two one meter extension cables. This setup will work for now, I can always buy a 3.0 hub at a later date. Install was very easy for this card, it took more time to disconnect and reconnect all cables running to the CPU than it did to install the card. My CPU is tens years old and I was able to use the supplied 1x15 Pin to 2x15 Pin SATA Power Cable, so I think that everyone would be able to use the same power connector. Do not install the card in the case first. You should connect the cards power cable to your CPU power supply cable first, than connect the SATA/Power to the card, than install the card. This order of install will prevent you from trying to connect the cables in tight quarters. Youtube has videos of UK reviewers running speed test programs to show how fast the cards 3.0 ports are. This means nothing to me because it does not tell me how long it would take to transfer big files. I installed the drivers and ran real world tests. I copied six files with a total size of 5.54 GB from a USB 2.0 to a 2.0 drive, with a 23:17 min. transfer time. I copied the same files from the cards 3.0 port with a one meter 3.0 extension cable to a 3.0 drive, with a 2:10 min. transfer time. I transferred a 97.1 GB file with the same 3.0 setup with a 47:37 min. transfer time. This was in preparation for moving from Windows XP to Windows 7, which I did the following day. The card does have one problem. It did not show that my new 3.0 drive was connected, so I plugged the drive into a 2.0 port and it was now listed on my computer as being drive J. I then plugged back into the 3.0 port and the portable drive was now on my computer but listed as being the 2.0 drive J. I can not power down the drive to properly disconnect the drive, I have to shut down the computer first and then remove the drive. I hoped that this was just a quirk with XP, but it is still a problem after I installed Windows 7 with the most current drivers. I will contact Inateck support to see if they have a solution for this problem and post an update. I am very pleased with this cards performance and suggest that everyone make the 3.0 upgrade, this is the system that current products are using and it will make your life easier. March 17, 2014 update What I thought was a problem is not really a problem. My computer still lists the 3.0 ports as being drive J, but after clicking Safely Remove Hardware and eject media at the lower right part of the task bar, you are given the option to disable the drive even if it is labeled incorrectly. Clicking the listed drive seems to disable the drive, it is no longer listed as an available drive and a message tells you that you can safely remove the drive now. It does not shut off the power light on the drive like it did in XP and this still gives me some concern. I did like the added reassurance of the power light going out to let me know that I could remove the drive. ## Features - SuperSpeed USB 3.0 supports transfer rates of up to 5Gbps - The actual transmission speed is limited by the setting of the device connected - 4 USB 3.0 downstream ports for standard desktop PCs; Supports USB Hot Plug, Plug & Play; Support LPM, Low Energy Consumption; 15 pin SATA Power Connector to power USB devices from your PC power supply - Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices; Operating System Compatibility: Windows XP/Vista/7/8,Mac OS 10. 8 or above - With quick and easy installation.

Installing the KT4001 in my computer was difficult because I had to take out my fan unit and run some molex extension cables from the DVD drive in order to provide power to this card. In hindsight, I wish I purchased the KT4004 model which doesn't require power. I didn't know about the KT4004 at the time of purchase. If you're getting one of these for an older Mac Pro, you might want to take my advice and just get the KT4004 instead! Despite the installation difficulties, it worked great immediately after boot up. There was no need for any driver installation. I should add, I'm using an older operating system, Mountain Lion, due to having old software which requires it. I was happy to find out that this card works even with the old OS. After a week of use, my computer stopped recognizing the card. I contacted Inateck support who had me do some troubleshooting and determined that the card was at fault. Their support team was very understanding and shipped me a new card free of charge and didn't require that I ship the broken card back to them. The replacement has been working fine for a few days now. If there is any trouble with it I will be sure to update my review. For now, it's working great and this was a quick and easy way to add USB 3.0 to my older computer. I'm enjoying the fast speed for doing backups and transferring large files. ## Frequently Bought Together - Inateck PCI-e to USB 3.0 (4 Ports) PCI Express Card and 15-Pin Power Connector, Red - FebSmart 4 Ports Superspeed 5Gbps USB 3.0 PCI Express Expansion Card for Windows 11, 10, 8.x, 7, Vista, XP Desktop PCs, Built in Self-Powered Technology, No Need Additional Power Supply (FS-U4-Pro) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/1041674-pci-e-to-usb-3-0-4-ports-pci-express](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/1041674-pci-e-to-usb-3-0-4-ports-pci-express) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
