Operating System Requirements: Windows 7 (32-bit) Description: This software enables the use of all versions of the Tempo SATA E2P, Tempo SATA Edge ExpressCard/34 and Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 host controllers in computers running Windows 7 32-bit ONLY.
Note: This software does NOT support Windows 7 64-bit.
Note: Silicon Image has discontinued driver support for the Si3132 controller used in these cards. The driver appears to work in Windows 10 32-bit, but without Silicon Image support, Sonnet is unable to offer troubleshooting support for Windows 10. Note: These SATA cards are not supported under Windows 7 or Windows Vista under Boot Camp on unibody MacBook Pro computers.
Often, yes. Sometimes, not. Some other manufacturers' drivers may incorrectly assume a Sonnet card is their SATA card which may cause havoc. The symptoms include significantly slower performance, driver not loading, or both drivers loading and causing and kernel panics as they both try to access the same card. Sonnet recommends removing other manufacturer's card(s) and driver(s) if a problem of this type occurs.
