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

| 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 |
| Under Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4, a volume greater than 2TB will show as a 2TB volume due to a limitation in Apple's ATA layer (just above the driver). Sonnet plans to provide a 10.4 fix in the next driver release. Under Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6, the full capacity of the RAID volume is available. |

| 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. |

| Can I mix drives with different capacities in the Fusion D400QR5 or R400QR5? | Mar-24-10 |
| Yes you can. Your array will use 4x the capacity of the smallest capacity drive. For example, If you install one 1TB drive and three 2TB drives, then the D/R400QR5 will build a 4TB RAID0 (4x 1TB) or a 3TB RAID 5 (3x1TB + 1TB parity). The extra capacity will go unused. |
