| Does the Tempo SSD, Tempo SSD Pro, or Tempo SSD Pro Plus support 15mm 2.5" drives? | Dec-30-17 |
| 15mm drives are slightly taller than allowed by the PCIe card specification. If the adjacent PCIe slot is empty, then 15mm drives may fit.
2TB 15mm drives typically require 12V. The initial Tempo SATA and Tempo SATA Pro did not provide +12V to the SATA Power connector. Tempo SATA cards (TSATA6-SSD-E2) with serial numbers B009180730003334 or greater, Tempo SATA Pro cards (TSATA6-SSDPR-E2) with serial numbers B00927073002838 or later, and all Tempo SATA Pro Plus (TSATA6-SSDPS-E2) cards provide 12V to the SATA power connector. |

| Can I install a Boot Camp partition on my Tempo SSD in my Mac Pro? | Jan-12-18 |
| Apple supports Boot Camp only on internal drives. See Apple's support page, Set up a Windows Partition on Your Mac, which states "The drive you're partitioning must be an internal drive." The Tempo SSD appears to the Mac Pro as an external drive, because it uses a controller connected to the PCIe bus, and not to a controller on the motherboard. Sonnet can't support a configuration that Apple doesn't support. If you want to use Boot Camp from an SSD, you need to make it an internal drive. Plug the SSD into a Sonnet Transposer, screw it into one of your Mac Pro trays, thereby making it an internal drive.
9TO5Mac has published a proceedure to install Boot Camp on an external drive, but Sonnet does not support this.

| In a Mac Pro, can I install Windows on a Tempo SSD or SSD Pro Plus? | Jul-15-19 |
| You can't run Bootcamp on the Sonnet Tempo SSD or SSD Pro Plus. However, you can format the SSD on the Tempo SSD or SSD Pro Plus with a GPT (GUID) partition map, install Windows 10 in UEFI mode on one SSD, and boot from it.
You must install the Bootcamp drivers (not the Bootcamp assistant). To get the Bootcamp drivers you start Bootcamp and look for a menu item to download Apple support. That downloads machine specific Apple drivers. There may be a way to get those drivers directly from Apple's website but we don't have the link. You must install this support before the machine reboots after a Windows install. Note that when the Windows installer sees the GPT partition map, it defaults to UEFI mode.
Note that option-boot will not work. This is how you select the startup disk...
•If you boot the macOS, you can open System Preferences->Startup Disk, and select the Windows disk
•If you boot Windows, you open Control Panel->Bootcamp and select the macOS disk. (When you install the Bootcamp drivers, you get this control panel in Windows that lets you select the macOS.)
•Or, you can zap the PRAM, which will default back to the maOS.
Only Windows 10 is supported; and there is an install order if you put macOS and Windows on two SSDs (install macOS first, Windows second). Be prepared to clean the disk and install more than once; the Windows installer sometimes hangs during the install. |
