| Unable to format hard drives after moving a Fusion storage system from a Mac to Windows computer. | Mar-23-10 |
| If you move your Fusion storage system from a Mac to a Windows computer system and try to format the disk using the Computer Management Console in Windows, the disk will show up as a GPT Protective Partition with no way to format it.
To properly format the disk, follow these steps:
1) Open a Command window (Start > Run > cmd), then start.
2) List your disks with list disk, then select the appropriate one with select disk X (with X the number of your disk as seen in the listing).
3) Issue a clean all command to erase all information on the disk. At this point you may be able to use the disk again from the management console;if not, continue with a create partition primary. |

| Only the first drive of my Fusion D400Q, D500P, R400P, or R400Q is recognized when I connect via SATA. Why? | Mar-24-10 |
| You are using a SATA port that is not port-multiplier aware. For example, the internal SATA ports in a Mac Pro that may be brought to the PCIe rear panel via an eSATA extender cable are not port-multiplier aware. All of Sonnet's Tempo SATA cards with external ports are port-multiplier aware. |

| Can I use Seagate Iron Wolf drives; or Hitchai and WD drives 8TB and larger? | May-31-18 |
| Some newer drives use a hole pattern different from the traditional drive hole pattern for the bottom mounting points. The location of the bottom holes close to the connector did not change; however, the bottom holes near the middle have been removed and replaced with bottom holes close to the front of the drive.
The drives with the new bottom hole pattern include:
Seagate Iron Wolf drives (also missing the middle hole from the side mount hole troika)
Hitachi drives 8TB and larger
WD drives 8TB and larger
Incompatible mount holes
Echo 15+ Dock (side mount, but needs middle hole, so incompatible with only Seagate Iron Wolf)
Fusion F3 (bottom mount)
Fusion D400Q/R400P/D500P (bottom mount)
Fusion D800/R800 (bottom mount)
Compatible mount holes
Fusion R400S RAID (side mount)
Fusion R400 RAID USB 3 (side mount)
Fusion DX800/RX1600 (side mount) If using Iron Wolf line, must use Iron Wolf Pro with rotational vibration sensors
