36 What are the benefits of supporting Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC)?Mar-02-10
37 Is it possible to boot from a volume that resides on the Tempo SATA card?Mar-02-10
39 Can I hot-swap a disk drive that is attached to any Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA card?Mar-23-10
Yes, but it depends on the computer's operating system (Mac OS or Windows). Sonnet Tempo SATA PCIe, PCI-X, PCI, and ExpressCard/34 cards support drive hot swapping only when used in Mac computers running Mac OS. SATA drive hot swapping is not supported in a desktop or server PC running Windows XP, Server 2003, or Vista. A SATA drive appears to Windows as a fixed hard drive and there is no mechanism in Windows to prepare the drive for removal except in notebook computers.

Tempo SATA and SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 cards support drive hot swapping in both Mac and Windows notebook computers.

165 Tempo SATA or Tempo SATA RAID133 won't boot from Mac OS 9.x when it is installed in a partition greater than 190GB.Apr-25-10
There is a limitation in Mac OS 9.x that will not recognize a system on a volume larger than 190GB.

Backup any data you do not want to lose. Reinitialize the drive and partition it. Be sure that there is at least one volume smaller than 190GB for Mac OS 9.x to be installed on. Once this is done, there will be no problem booting.
 
193 Is target disk mode supported on TSATA?May-12-09
Althought the TSATA supports booting from an attached drive, it does not support target disk mode when booting from an attached drive. Try connecting the two computers via ethernet to exchange files.
