| What are the benefits of supporting Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC)? | Mar-02-10 |
| Spread Spectrum Clocking is a way to lower electromagnetic interference or EMI. This is important for storage solutions that are required to pass FCC and other agency certifications. All current Serial ATA disk drives implement SSC (some allow you to turn this feature on/off). However, some older SATA drives do not implement SSC. All Sonnet Serial ATA host adapter cards support SSC but will also work with disk drives that do not. |

| Can I operate two Tempo SATA cards in the same system? | Sep-02-09 |
| Yes, this is a great way to expand capacity and performance. If two or more Tempo-X, X4+4, X8, X4i, X4P, E4i, or E4P cards are installed to the same machine they must all have the same firmware version to avoid conflicts. |

| 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. |

| Tempo SATA X4P: 1) Although labeled a 3726, software identifies the drive enclosure's port multiplier as a Silicon Image 4726, but without the RAID features 2) With no drives in the enclosure, Disk Utility shows a "phantom" SV-2000 device 3) Completely unpredictable performance and reliability of drives mounted in these enclosures. | May-07-09 |

| My Stardom RAIDSonic ST3620-2S-S2 is not reliable with 6Gb drives and and a 6Gb controller. | Jul-08-13 |
| The Stardom RAIDSONIC ST3620-2S-S2 is not reliable when connected at 6Gb. It was designed for 3Gb SATA. If you connected previously using a 3Gb controller, even with 6Gb drives, the connection was 3Gb. With the 6Gb controllers and 6Gb drives, the connection is negotiated at 6Gb, but the connection is not reliable because of the older design of the Stardom chassis does not support 6Gb. The drives may not be recognized or if recognized, transfers will fail at some point. |
