| The new 3 Gigabit/second eSATA cards contain a rather large Marvell chip with the string "88SX6081" on it. Previous generation eSATA cards had a Marvell chip labeled "88SX5081". Additionally, you can check your Macintosh System Profile. When you select the installed eSATA card, the Device ID will show either "0x6081" or "0x5081". |

| What kind of performance can I expect from a using a Sonnet Tempo SATA Card in a PCI slot (like in a Power Mac G4)? | Oct-12-09 |
| Our testing has shown that a four-drive array will sustain maximum reads and writes of about 200 MB/second in a 64bit, 33MHz PCI slot. An eight-drive array will not provide any additional performance beyond that of a four-drive array in that slot. To get significantly more performance, you need to use a machine with a PCI-X slot. |

| 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 |
| This does not happen often, but sometimes the driver caches do not get purged and the new SATA driver does not get loaded correctly from ROM.
Try this:
1) Delete and empty trash for the following file and two directories:
/System/Library/Extensions.mkext (a file)
/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches (a directory)
/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.romextensions (a directory)
2) Restart |
