987 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.

1095 I'm using this card with macOS 10.15 and am experiencing Kernel PanicsMar-15-20
Open System Preferences, Energy Saver, and uncheck Put hard disks to sleep when possible. Sleep is not needed for SSDs, and macOS 10.15 seems to have a problem with sleeping SSDs when possible.
