| ATTO R380 RAID Software (Feb. 2008) | Aug-05-09 |
| The February 2008 release of the ATTO software broke the "automaponboot" feature, in which an array that is moved to another machine will be automatically recognized. Sonnet will not be posting this update. For customers who may have upgraded directly from ATTO, we recommend they change the automaponboot setting to 'disabled.' This way on each reboot the mappings will persist.
The new ATTO software release included these enhancements:
* Staggered startup.
* Autorebuild - RAID will automatically start rebuilding if it finds a damaged disk replaced by a clean one.
* Adaptive read-ahead policy - will read ahead for long data streams, not for short ones. |

| Under Mac OS X 10.5.6, the PCI Express Expansion Slot Utility (early Mac Pro) always reports 8x, 1x, 1x, 16x no matter how its set. | May-06-09 |
| The bus lanes actually get set correctly under Mac OS X 10.5.6 but they are not reported correctly in the Expansion Slot Utility. The actual settings can be verified by booting under another version of Mac OS X. Sonnet has filed a bug report with Apple. |
