| What generations of Thunderbolt chassis do Sonnet Allegro PCIe cards support? | Apr-02-22 |
| These cards are compatible with only Thunderbolt 2 or 3 PCIe expansion chassis; they are not compatible with Thunderbolt 1 PCIe expansion chassis (unless they have been upgraded to Thunderbolt 2). |

| One or more of my ports has stopped working on my USB 3 card. | Aug-24-22 |
| All current and recent Sonnet USB 3 cards have resettable fuses to protect the ports from an overcurrent condition. To reset the fuses, you must remove power to the card by shutting down your machine. (Restarting is not sufficient.) After turning the computer back on, the ports should start working again. If the fuses continue to trip, then you may have a device that draws too much USB Bus power (more than 2 Amps). |

| 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. |

| If I put a usb 2.0 and 3.0 device on the same controller will the speeds for the 3.0 device drop to 2.0 like older split-port controllers? | Dec-07-21 |
| The Sonnet Allegro USB-C and Allegro Pro 4-port Type A USB 3.2 cards support the fastest speed of each device independently on each port. The Sonnet cards supports "Multiple Ins", which means that that the host can issue a read request to one endpoint device and then proceed with other transactions without waiting for the response from the first device. Supporting Multiple Ins also improves performance to mutiple Gen 1 devices on a downstream Gen 2 hub connected to a Sonnet card Gen 2 port. |
