| How do I replace a failed drive under warranty if I'm in a sensitive/classified environment and can't send the old one back? | Mar-23-10 |
| Seagate has a provisions in place to deal with replacing drives in sensitive / classified environments.
1. Start by going to the Seagate Warranty Validation page http://support.seagate.com/customer/warranty_validation.jsp
2. Input all the neccessary drive information and continue until you are issued an RMA or return#.
3. Contact Seagate at http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/about/contact_us to request a "Certificate Of Destruction". Seagate will send the COD via e-mail along with instructions on how to destroy the drive to their satisfaction. Certain parts of the drive will need to be shipped back to Seagate along with a filled out copy of the COD.
4. Once Seagate receives the COD and associated drive parts meeting their requirements, a replacement drive(s) will be shipped to the address set forth in the RMA. |

| Does the ATTO R380 Support OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)? | Oct-21-13 |
| Official ATTO support ends with OS X 10.8.5.
With OS X 10.9+, you will no longer be able to boot from a drive or array connected to an ATTO R380, and you will no longer be able to create new RAID groups. You can install current drivers for this card under Mavericks, but there will be no support from ATTO. Furthermore, Mavericks OS will complain at every boot about using unsigned drivers.
To transition to Mavericks, customers with an early Fusion DX800RAID storage unit equipped with an R380 RAID controller can purchase from Sonnet an R680 RAID controller with an included cooling upgrade kit.
All Fusion DX1600RAID units were equipped with an R680 RAID controller, which has complete Mavericks support.
The Fusion D800RAID and R800RAID storage units are not compatible with the ATTO R680 card. To transition to Mavericks, customers with a Fusion D800RAID or R800RAID must upgrade to a DX800 storage unit which includes an R680 controller. The drives can be moved with the RAID array intact. If you would like to make this upgrade, contact Sonnet sales to inquire about purchasing a DX800 without drives. |

| Can I use Seagate Iron Wolf drives; or Hitchai and WD drives 8TB and larger? | May-31-18 |
| Some newer drives use a hole pattern different from the traditional drive hole pattern for the bottom mounting points. The location of the bottom holes close to the connector did not change; however, the bottom holes near the middle have been removed and replaced with bottom holes close to the front of the drive.
The drives with the new bottom hole pattern include:
Seagate Iron Wolf drives (also missing the middle hole from the side mount hole troika)
Hitachi drives 8TB and larger
WD drives 8TB and larger
Incompatible mount holes
Echo 15+ Dock (side mount, but needs middle hole, so incompatible with only Seagate Iron Wolf)
Fusion F3 (bottom mount)
Fusion D400Q/R400P/D500P (bottom mount)
Fusion D800/R800 (bottom mount)
Compatible mount holes
Fusion R400S RAID (side mount)
Fusion R400 RAID USB 3 (side mount)
Fusion DX800/RX1600 (side mount) If using Iron Wolf line, must use Iron Wolf Pro with rotational vibration sensors
