| I connected an OS X boot drive and it doesn't show up in System Preferences:Startup Disk | Oct-16-13 |
| There is an issue where an available boot disk connected via Thunderbolt may not show in OS X's System Preferences':Startup Disk selector window.
The good news is there is an easy work-around to select the startup disk. If you hold the "option" key during a start or restart, you can then select a startup disk attached to a Tempo SATA Pro 6Gb 4-port card in a Thunderbolt chassis. |

| My Stardom RAIDSonic ST3620-2S-S2 is not reliable with 6Gb drives and and a 6Gb controller. | Jul-08-13 |
| The Stardom RAIDSONIC ST3620-2S-S2 is not reliable when connected at 6Gb. It was designed for 3Gb SATA. If you connected previously using a 3Gb controller, even with 6Gb drives, the connection was 3Gb. With the 6Gb controllers and 6Gb drives, the connection is negotiated at 6Gb, but the connection is not reliable because of the older design of the Stardom chassis does not support 6Gb. The drives may not be recognized or if recognized, transfers will fail at some point. |

| How do I use Sonnet's SATA cards in VMWare/vSphere 5.5+? | Mar-27-18 |
| The "in-box" driver loads for generic AHCI devices, but it won't start unless the specific device (ASMedia, for example) is listed in the "driver map files". They are located in /etc/vmware/driver.map.d/ahci.map in the vSphere system. Fortunately, Andreas Peetz, who runs a must-know VMWare site called www.v-front.de, describes this in some detail "How to make your unsupported SATA AHCI Controller work with ESXi 5.5 and 6.0, and has an xahci.map you can easily install that will fully enable the driver. We tested it, it seems to work for ASMedia cards. |
