"The latest version of Final Cut Pro X requires macOS 10.12.4."
Actually, the latest version requires 10.13.2 according to the Mac App Store; Final Cut Pro 10.4.1 shows as "incompatible" on my Sierra 10.12.6 machine. I'm waiting for High Sierra not to suck before I update on my main rig.
Apparently the card does NOT come with the SATA power lead/cable as mentioned in the article (as "supplied in the box"). This can be misleading to readers.
I have never had a 30-pin or lightning cable fail, ever. There are absolutely people who are not careful or responsible with their things, and the possibility of accidents causing cable damage.
