I'm curious about your upgrade. In the past CPU upgrades were kind of
diminishing returns since you then just hit bottlenecks in other parts
of the system, such as RAM, system bus, drive IO and video IO. Are you
doing something that is compute intensive but low bandwidth? Just hoping
you aren't setting expectations too high after your upgrade.
I would also note that a brand new 1TB drive in the box with warranty
etc. is only about $85 with free shipping. So you might find selling
your old drive probably isn't worth it. Maybe just leave it in there as
some scratch space. You have four bays afterall.

Good evening all,
I'm upgrading the processor in my mid 2010 mac pro from a Xeon W3530 quad-core
chip to a w3680 6 core chip. The W3530 runs at 2.8 GHZ. Nothing at all wrong
with the processor, just want to upgrade and get 2 more cores for productivity.
I'm asking $250 for the processor, and $10 shipping. If interested, please hit
me back.
One x 1 tb internal sata3 drive, will be whiped before selling, asking $50.
