| Can I connect the CFast 2.0 Pro Card Adapter to a Thunderbolt 2 Mac? | Oct-24-17 |
| Thunderbolt 2 does not have enough power to directly connect a Thunderbolt 3 bus-powered device like the CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader. However, you can connect the CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader if you have an intermediate Thunderbolt 3 device in the chain that is wall-powered, for example the Sonnet SxS Pro Card Reader.
Thunderbolt 2 Mac----Apple TB 3 (USB-C) to TB 2 Adapter----Wall-powered Thunderbolt 3 Device----CFast 2.0 Pro Card Reader
Note that the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter is reversable and will support a Thunderbolt 2 Mac and a Thunderbolt 3 device (as well as a Thunderbolt 3 Mac and a Thunderbolt 2 device). |

| Under Windows, CFast cards are not mounting. | Feb-18-21 |
| Windows needs to be trained to identify CFast cards. You can train Windows in two ways:
1. Boot with the CFast Reader attached (cards do not need to be plugged in).
2. Plug in two CFast cards, and then hot-plug the Thunderbolt cable to the CFast Reader.
After either one of these training methods, Windows will continue to automatically recognize inserted CFast cards.
If you hot-plug the CFast Reader Thunderbolt cable without CFast cards installed, then Windows will not recognize cards. |

| Some cards, notably 960GB Angelbird or RED cards drop offline. | Oct-11-21 |
| These cards draw more power than the official specification. Sonnet has revised the CFAST reader to accomodate these cards. The original CFAST Reader had serial number starting with "A". Modified CFAST Readers have a serial number starting with "B". Sonnet is offering a free upgrade from A revision to B revision for customers with this issue. |
