| What versions of macOS support Allegro USB 3 cards? | Apr-02-22 |
| All Sonnet Allegro (and Fusion Dual 2.5" SSD RAID) PCIe Cards use a macOS pre-installed driver.
These cards are compatible with macOS 10.10 in the MacPro 3,1; 4,1 & 5,1 and in Thunderbolt 2 Expansion chassis.
These cards are not compatible with macOS 10.11, due to a bug in the Apple driver.
These cards are compatible with macOS 10.12 (2)-10.14 in the MacPro 5,1 and in Thunderbolt 2 & 3 Expansion chassis.
These cards are compatible with macOS 10.15-macOS 12 in the 2019 Mac Pro and in Thunderbolt 2 & 3 Expansion chassis.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
- These cards are not compatible with Thunderbolt 1 expansion chassis.
- macOS 10.12 erroneously reports a 5Gbps connection when connected at 10Gbps.
- The maximum Apple-supported OS for the Mac Pro 3,1 and 4,1 is OS X 10.11. Dosdude1 offers patchers to allow installation of newer versions of macOS. The Apple USB 3 driver in these patched newer versions will support the Allegro cards.
- Performance of the Allegro cards may be limited by the Mac Pro 5,1 PCIe 2.0 bandwidth.

| The Fusion Dual 2.5" SSD RAID PCIe card gives an macOS error message upon wake from sleep. | Mar-30-20 |
| To minimize power usage during sleep, power is removed from PCIe cards. Because of this power-saving specification, the controller on the Fusion Dual 2.5" SSD RAID PCIe card is unable to maintain its port power during sleep. In macOS, this may result in the SSD RAID disconnecting upon waking from sleep. The SSD RAID will automatically remount, but the system reports a disconnect message. Because macOS flushes all caches before sleeping, this disconnect should never result in any loss of data. |
