One of the most noticeable differences between the new Mac Pro and its predecessors is that Apple nixed the larger case - which took up a lot of space but allowed for internal expansion options like new hard drives - and replaced it with a cylindrical design. This choice has received mixed reactions from professional users, as some are big fans of the compact design while others would rather have retained the freedom to add more storage space and graphics cards.

Professionals who are concerned that the Mac Pro won't let them build out their computing resources need not worry, as Apple has simply moved the expansion capabilities to the outside of the case. The Mac Pro comes with six Thunderbolt ports and four for USB 3.0, which can be used to add external hard drives and other components.

it's important to remember that the transfer speeds afforded by both Thunderbolt (10 gigabits per second [Gbps]) and USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) are fast enough that you can view and edit large data files, such as video and 3D graphics, in real time over these connections. Additionally, the Thunderbolt connections allow for the use of multiple monitors at once, meaning that users won't need to add video cards if they need additional displays.

Like Apple's MacBook Pro and iMac computers, the Mac Pro provides professional users with the tools they need to create great works of art and deliverables to clients.
