Mac Pro 6.1 RAM compatibility
Hello !
I want to update my Mac pro a little
now there is an opportunity to buy DDR3 2400 (as in the picture)
Can you please tell me if I can use such a memory? (factory memory has a lower frequency)
Update (09/22/2021)
Here is the label
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Sorry these won't work as they are not ECC RAM
I have Crucial RAM in my system but they have stopped producing it.
So you'll need to take a gamble here, looking online at one of the jobbers which bought up the last supply. As an example here's one Crucial 8GB 16GB 32GB 64GB DDR3 1866MHz PC3-14900 240-Pin ECC Unbuffered RAM
Make sure you use a credit card which offers product warranty and make sure you have it shipped by FedEx or other trackable package service.

@asog - Well that explains things! You can't use the M.2 SSD in this system. You are limited to either what Apple contracted from Samsung or what OWC offers.
While RAM is important its not what slows the boot up! Drive I/O is.
Lets use an analogy to see what the problem is. Your dad is hard of hearing, causing you having to repeat what you say, and even then the dialog could still end up being garbled. But clearly your dads brain is working and so is yours! Its the lack of a clean dialog between the two grey matters!
Sadly, this is the same issue here! The dialog between the system and the SSD is messed up. Here we have a few different things! The first is the adapter the second is the timing of the I/O is not the same between what the system is expecting and what the M.2 SSD is able to work with (remember Apple did their own thing!)
For reference I have a 2TB OWC SSD in my MacPro with 32GB of RAM, it take about a five count to boot up!
As for the RAM I would need to know the maker, but why don't you just follow my reference than having me review things as I'm sure you can deduce whats needed.
