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.
Yes, but it depends on the computer's operating system (Mac OS or Windows). Sonnet Tempo SATA PCIe, PCI-X, PCI, and ExpressCard/34 cards support drive hot swapping only when used in Mac computers running Mac OS. SATA drive hot swapping is not supported in a desktop or server PC running Windows XP, Server 2003, or Vista. A SATA drive appears to Windows as a fixed hard drive and there is no mechanism in Windows to prepare the drive for removal except in notebook computers.
Tempo SATA and SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 cards support drive hot swapping in both Mac and Windows notebook computers.
