The processor has been upgraded to a 6-core 3.46GHz (fastest available for a 2009-2012 Mac Pro), with Hyperhtreading to 12-core threads and Turbo Boost to 3.7GHz. It does, however, have upgraded USB 3.0 in the front ports now and two more in the back, in addition to the other four USB 2.0s already there, so you can always use an external DVD/CD drive if you want to use one (and yes, I do have a few genuine Apple external USB DVD/CD drives to sell).

It appears that in the process the USB connections for the optical drive were taken off, which means it does NOT have a CD/DVD drive in it and no connections to put one in it. This Mac Pro tower was parts-built starting with an empty 2010 case, then had all components are from a bent up 2010 Mac Pro removed and installed into this good 2010 case (including backplane board, processor board and power supply). The price for this Mac Pro, as it sits, is $475 FIRM - NO less - NO offers - NO trades, and includes a Focusrite Saffire PRO 24 interface (deduct $75 if you DO NOT NEED the interface).

It could also make a good Mac for video editing use with a slight upgrade in the graphics card. This one has been upgraded to macOS Catalina 10.15.7 and has the latest Logic Pro X music production software already running on it. If you're looking for something fast to replace your older model Mac because it won't run any of the later operating systems with Logic Pro X, here's a ready-to-use 2010 Mac Pro tower that's great for music production use.
