| What versions of macOS support Allegro USB 3 cards? | Apr-02-22 |
| All Sonnet Allegro (and Fusion Dual 2.5" SSD RAID) PCIe Cards use a macOS pre-installed driver.
These cards are compatible with macOS 10.10 in the MacPro 3,1; 4,1 & 5,1 and in Thunderbolt 2 Expansion chassis.
These cards are not compatible with macOS 10.11, due to a bug in the Apple driver.
These cards are compatible with macOS 10.12 (2)-10.14 in the MacPro 5,1 and in Thunderbolt 2 & 3 Expansion chassis.
These cards are compatible with macOS 10.15-macOS 12 in the 2019 Mac Pro and in Thunderbolt 2 & 3 Expansion chassis.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
- These cards are not compatible with Thunderbolt 1 expansion chassis.
- macOS 10.12 erroneously reports a 5Gbps connection when connected at 10Gbps.
- The maximum Apple-supported OS for the Mac Pro 3,1 and 4,1 is OS X 10.11. Dosdude1 offers patchers to allow installation of newer versions of macOS. The Apple USB 3 driver in these patched newer versions will support the Allegro cards.
- Performance of the Allegro cards may be limited by the Mac Pro 5,1 PCIe 2.0 bandwidth.

| What makes Sonnet USB 3.2 Cards more reliable than other USB 3 cards? | Apr-02-22 |
| The uniqueness of Sonnet USB 3.2 products is each USB port has a USB power switch (MOSFET) that manages and monitors the current flow of the USB port. The USB switch limits the current draw when a new USB device is connected minimizing the voltage droop of the main USB 5V power rail, thereby protecting devices connected to other USB ports from going offline because of port power droop. The USB switch is also a very effective current limiter that does not degrade over trips the way a resettable poly-fuse would. |

| The Write performance of my SSD is very slow under Windows. | Feb-14-23 |
| The Windows default for any external storage media is for Write Caching policies to be disabled. If you have enabled it, then the write performance to an SSD will be very slow. To get significantly increase write performance, disable Write Caching. For instructions, see this Microsoft Document. |
