450 My storage shows 10% more capacity under OS X 10.6 than under OS X 10.5. Why?Mar-24-10
453 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.
