101 Fusion storage system activity lights are always on with Seagate ES.2 (Enterprise) drives installed in the drive bays.Oct-22-10
Sonnet engineering has fixed this issue with some Fusion storage systems. This issue was addressed and fixed as follows:

APRIL, 2008: in Fusion D400Q and Fusion D500P systems with serial numbers beginning with J.
MAY 20, 2008: In Fusion D800RAID with serial numbers beginning with G.
All versions of Fusion R400Q and R800RAID are compatible with Seagate ES.2 Drives.

Note: Seagate ES.2 drives have lower performance than Sonnet recommended drives.
 
202 Under Mac OS X 10.5.6, the PCI Express Expansion Slot Utility (early Mac Pro) always reports 8x, 1x, 1x, 16x no matter how its set.May-06-09
The bus lanes actually get set correctly under Mac OS X 10.5.6 but they are not reported correctly in the Expansion Slot Utility. The actual settings can be verified by booting under another version of Mac OS X. Sonnet has filed a bug report with Apple.

775 Does the ATTO R380 Support OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)?Oct-21-13
Official ATTO support ends with OS X 10.8.5.

With OS X 10.9+, you will no longer be able to boot from a drive or array connected to an ATTO R380, and you will no longer be able to create new RAID groups. You can install current drivers for this card under Mavericks, but there will be no support from ATTO. Furthermore, Mavericks OS will complain at every boot about using unsigned drivers.

To transition to Mavericks, customers with an early Fusion DX800RAID storage unit equipped with an R380 RAID controller can purchase from Sonnet an R680 RAID controller with an included cooling upgrade kit.

All Fusion DX1600RAID units were equipped with an R680 RAID controller, which has complete Mavericks support.

The Fusion D800RAID and R800RAID storage units are not compatible with the ATTO R680 card. To transition to Mavericks, customers with a Fusion D800RAID or R800RAID must upgrade to a DX800 storage unit which includes an R680 controller. The drives can be moved with the RAID array intact. If you would like to make this upgrade, contact Sonnet sales to inquire about purchasing a DX800 without drives.
