| 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. |

| What makes Sonnet USB 3.2 Cards more reliable than other USB 3 cards? | Apr-02-22 |
| The uniqueness of Sonnet USB 3.2 products is each USB port has a USB power switch (MOSFET) that manages and monitors the current flow of the USB port. The USB switch limits the current draw when a new USB device is connected minimizing the voltage droop of the main USB 5V power rail, thereby protecting devices connected to other USB ports from going offline because of port power droop. The USB switch is also a very effective current limiter that does not degrade over trips the way a resettable poly-fuse would. |

| How do I detect and replace a failed SSD in RAID 1 mirror mode? | Aug-13-20 |
| A red ERR light will flash when an SSD has failed. It the top ERR flashes, the SSD in connector J2 (nearer to the PCIe bracket) needs to be replaced. It the bottom ERR flashes, the SSD in connector J1 (farther from the PCIe bracket) needs to be replaced.
Replacing a failed SSD
1. Shut down and remove card from your system.
2. Remove the faulted SSD and replace with a new SSD. The new SSD capacity must be equal to or greater than the original SSD. The rebuild process will wipe out any data on the replacement SSD.
3. Plug the card into your computer and boot.
4. The RAID will rebuild automatically. While the RAID is rebuilding, the green ACT LEDs of both SSDs will flash. It may take several hours to rebuild a RAID 1 array (a rule of thumb is an hour per TB). Do not shut down or sleep your computer during the rebuild process.
5. When the process is complete, the red ERR light will go out and both ACT LEDs will turn solid green. |
