| Why isn't a rack slide set included? | May-23-19 |
| Sonnet wanted to support both deep server room racks as well as shallow portable racks (the xMac mini server is only 18" deep.) Because we couldn't accomodate the full range of rack depths, we unbundled the rack kits to give the users the flexibility to mount the xMac mini Server in racks 18" to 32.5" deep. |

| How fast will an SSD be in an Echo Express Thunderbolt chassis using the Tempo SSD, SSD Pro or SSD Pro Plus? | Dec-30-17 |
| We have performance comparison information on our web site. Check the performance tab on Tempo SSD or Tempo SSD Pro product page. This will give you a pretty good idea.
These numbers can be generalized. For one SSD you can infer from the table.
Read speed over Thunderbolt = 90% of rated read speed in a Mac Pro
Write speed over Thunderbolt = 80% of rated write speed in a Mac Pro.
Go to the manufacturer's SSD product page, check the speed rating and multiply by 90% and 80% for read and write, respectively, for performance over Thunderbolt.
For two SSDs in a RAID 0 in the Tempo SSD Pro using the original Thunderbolt 1 bandwidth limit, the speeds get capped at about 700MB/sec read and 560MB/sec write. There is no bandwidth limit for a two-SSD RAID 0 under Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt 3. |

| How do I get effective Wi-Fi and Blutooth when my Mac mini is mounted in xMac mini Server editiion? | Jun-29-20 |
| The steel mounting case effectively shields the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antenna from effective use. For Wi-Fi, some customers have used the Edimax EW-7822ULC external USB 2.0 wi-fi adapter, or the faster Edimax EW-7822UTC external USB 3.0 wi-fi adapter. Sonnet does not have a recommendation for Blutooth. |
