MacPro n’ cheese

2013 MacPro does in fact have USB 3.0, it is the even older and far better “cheese grater” models that need to use a PCIe card.

Many people are still using these for high end pro work with latest GPUs and NVMe raid cards etc

MP 2013 would definitely be better for “cheese rolling” mind...

More seriously, differences between OS X and Windows security are well explained here:

OS X isn't perfect, but is undoubtedly built on more secure foundations.

It means I can get on with doing work rather than having to constantly worry about security
