By default, it is configured with 6 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM, a 1 TB (7200 RPM, 32 MB cache) 3Gb/s Serial ATA hard drive, an 18X dual-layer “SuperDrive” and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card with 1 GB of GDDR5 memory.
Expansion includes two external 5.25″ “optical” bays (one free by default), four internal 3.5″ “cable-free, direct attach” hard drive bays (three free 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).
Ports include five USB 2.0 ports, four Firewire “800” ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet, two Mini DisplayPorts and a dual-link DVI port, among others. AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR is standard.
Please note that the “Mid-2012” Mac Pro models practically are identical to the “Mid-2010” models before them, but there are some differences in terms of specs and identifiers and EveryMac.com has documented them as their own models, accordingly.
