Need fast backup to External Thunderbolt storage drive. Does anyone know of a card or other way to do this? On either a 1st generation or 2nd generation Mac Pro.
UPDATE 9/15/18
Looks like Sonnett makes them but I can’t tell if they work in Macs:

Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Thunderbolt is essentially PCIe on a wire which means that it HAS to be part of the motherboard, so what you're asking for here is a way to install a PCIe interface via a PCIe interface. Can't be done, at least not without the motherboard directly supporting it (which the Mac Pros do not).

There are PCI cards to add TB to a Windows PC so its technically possible. I just don't know if any one has done it and how they addressed the driver issue. As an example HP 1-port Thunderbolt Adapter with DisplayPort Input - PCI Express - Plug-in Card - 1 Thunderbolt Port(s)
This is the older TB not TB2 or now TB3
As I said, "at least not without the motherboard directly supporting it". To use a Thunderbolt PCI card on a Windows PC, the PC motherboard has to support it. None of the Mac Pros support it.
Just because a computer has a PCI slot doesn't automatically mean that you can plug any PCI card in there and it'll work.
