36		What are the benefits of supporting Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC)?	Mar-02-10
	Spread Spectrum Clocking is a way to lower electromagnetic interference or EMI. This is important for storage solutions that are required to pass FCC and other agency certifications. All current Serial ATA disk drives implement SSC (some allow you to turn this feature on/off). However, some older SATA drives do not implement SSC. All Sonnet Serial ATA host adapter cards support SSC but will also work with disk drives that do not.

37		Is it possible to boot from a volume that resides on the Tempo SATA card?	Mar-02-10

170		Tempo SATA X4P: 1) Although labeled a 3726, software identifies the drive enclosure's port multiplier as a Silicon Image 4726, but without the RAID features 2) With no drives in the enclosure, Disk Utility shows a "phantom" SV-2000 device 3) Completely unpredictable performance and reliability of drives mounted in these enclosures.

404		The Sonnet Tempo SATA card does not work with my Western Digital My Book Premium ES Edition, or Seagate Technology FreeAgent Pro.	Mar-02-10
452		I upgraded my Tempo SATA software in a PowerMac G4 or G5 and the card is giving a lot of system errors.	Oct-12-09
454		I have connected a large hardware RAID volume (for example, a 4TB Fusion D400QR5) to a Sonnet Pro SATA card in a Macintosh, and it is showing up as only 2TB. Why?	Oct-14-09
459		The performance of my drive array is significantly less than I expect.	Jun-14-11
	Another manufacturer's previously-installed SATA driver may be accessing a Sonnet SATA card in error causing a drive access slowdown. For example, we have seen Fusion D400QR5 performance drop from 200MB/s to under 50MB/s in such circumstances. The solution is to remove the other manufacturer's SATA driver.
