Overview

The Mac Pro "Eight Core" 2.4 Server (Mid-2010/Westmere), is technically classified as "custom-order" configuration of the Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.8 Server (Mid-2010/Nehalem), but is also listed as a separate model for easy reference. Apart from the quantity and speed of the processors, both models share identical specifications.


The Mac Pro "Eight Core" 2.4 Server (Mid-2010/Westmere) features a two 2.4 GHz Quad Core 45-nm Xeon E5620 (Westmere) processors with a dedicated 256k of L2 cache for each core and 8MB of "fully shared" L3 cache.


The standard configuration featured 8GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM, two 1TB (7200 RPM, 32 MB cache) 3Gb/s Serial ATA hard drives, an 18X dual-layer "SuperDrive" and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card with 1GB of GDDR5 memory.


Expansion includes two external 5.25" "optical" bays (one available by default), four internal 3.5" "cable-free, direct attach" hard drive bays (three available by default), and four PCIe 2.0 slots (one free PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and two free PCIe 2.0 x4 slots with the default single graphics card installed).


Port selection includes five USB 2.0 ports, four Firewire "800" ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet, two Mini DisplayPorts and a dual-link DVI port, and more. AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR comes standard.

Evaluation

After the discontinuation of the Xserve, this model took on the role of Apple's server solution. It was essentially a standard 8-core Westmere Mac Pro but was configured with more RAM, dual hard drives, and came pre-installed with Mac OS X Server. This server model inherited the legendary upgradability of the MacPro5,1, making it a long-lasting and flexible server for small to medium-sized businesses. The "Westmere" CPUs used were more efficient than the previous "Nehalem" generation, contributing to stable server operation.
