Though not as fast, OWC's Aura SSD for the Mac Pro can deliver up to 4TB internal capacity. TransIntl offers that same performance and compatibility with the SuperBlade (up to 1TB capacity). By replacing it with an SM951 based 1TB module from a late model MacBook Pro, the large sequential transfer rate rises to 1500MB/s. The original XP941 based flash storage for the 'late 2013' Mac Pro topped out at 1200MB/s. You don't get that with any other Mac except the legacy Mac Pro towers. If you ordered your 2013 Mac Pro with a measly 12GB, it's nice to know you can expand to as high as 128GB with the help of third party kits (see TransIntl and MacSales).
No special drivers or nvram parameters required. When I connected dual Thunderbolt 2 ports to the Dell UP2715K 5K display (using its included dual mini DisplayPort to dual DisplayPort cable), it just worked - at 5K. How many Macs (or Windows PCs) do you know that have THREE Thunderbolt buses? One of my favorite stunts was bridging the THREE Thunderbolt 2 buses with three LaCie TB2 Little Big Disks to achieve 3740 MB/s. Only have a 4 or 6-core 2013 Mac Pro? Did you know you can trade in your current CPU for an 8, 10, or 12 core CPU? Check out Other World Computing's upgrade program for the Mac Pro 'Turbo Tubes.' Using Geekbench 4 CPU test, the 'Turbo Tube' scored 21285 for multi-core while the 'Tower of Power' with 4 more cores only managed 20458. I recently compared the CPU power of the 2010 Mac Pro 12-Core 3.3GHz to the 2013 Mac Pro 8-Core 3.0GHz.
