It's true, you could add an external ThunderBolt chassis, but when the trash can Mac Pro first came out I recall that not many companies were making the chassis and they were pretty expensive maybe around $1000 from Sonnettech.com (which was added to the already very expensive Mac Pro). The expansion chassis prices have dropped now. But the expansion chassis won't allow you to add a second CPU which is very helpful when compressing video.
- atomical 10y agoIt would allow you to add a second GPU. The cost of the upgrade would mostly depend on the cost of the GPU.
- touchofevil 10y agoRight, you can add GPUs in the external chassis, but not CPUs. CPUs are important for compressing video.
