| I'm using OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSDs with a Tempo SSD or Tempo SSD Pro adapter in a Thunderbolt Expansion Chassis and the system hangs after waking from sleep. | Oct-01-16 |

| 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. |

| Can I install Mac OS directly onto SSDs (or an SSD RAID) on the card? Will I get a recovery partition? | Dec-30-17 |

| Does the Tempo SSD, Tempo SSD Pro, or Tempo SSD Pro Plus support 15mm 2.5" drives? | Dec-30-17 |
| 15mm drives are slightly taller than allowed by the PCIe card specification. If the adjacent PCIe slot is empty, then 15mm drives may fit.
2TB 15mm drives typically require 12V. The initial Tempo SATA and Tempo SATA Pro did not provide +12V to the SATA Power connector. Tempo SATA cards (TSATA6-SSD-E2) with serial numbers B009180730003334 or greater, Tempo SATA Pro cards (TSATA6-SSDPR-E2) with serial numbers B00927073002838 or later, and all Tempo SATA Pro Plus (TSATA6-SSDPS-E2) cards provide 12V to the SATA power connector. |

| How do I use Sonnet's SATA cards in VMWare/vSphere 5.5+? | Mar-27-18 |

| Do Sonnet SATA cards support NexStar Dual Bay Drive Docks and Icy Box IB-3640SU3 with SATA interface? | Oct-04-19 |
| No. There is something non-standard about these products that are not supported by in-box AHCI SATA drivers. There is nothing Sonnet can do to fix this. |

| I'm using this card with macOS 10.15 and am experiencing Kernel Panics | Mar-15-20 |
| Open System Preferences, Energy Saver, and uncheck Put hard disks to sleep when possible. Sleep is not needed for SSDs, and macOS 10.15 seems to have a problem with sleeping SSDs when possible. |
