| 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. |

| In a Mac Pro, the SSDs are seen as external drives, how do I prevent accidental ejects? | Feb-14-23 |
| There is no provision in macOS to make SSDs on a PCIe card to appear as internal and non-ejectable. If you want to prevent accidental ejection, open a file on the volume with Text Edit, which will prevent macOS from ejecting the volume, because a file will be in use by Text Edit. |

| 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.

| 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. |
