394 After waking from sleep, my Macintosh will give me a "Device Removal" error for a USB storage device. Why?Aug-19-09
This is an issue with Mac OS X and all PCIe USB cards connected to a storage device in a Mac Pro or PowerMac G5. This applies to the USB ports in the Sonnet Tango FireWire/USB PCIe, Tango FireWire 800/USB PCIe and Allegro Express USB 2.0 cards. Sonnet has notified Apple, who has declined to address this issue at this time.
 
396 What's the difference between the Tango FireWire 800/USB 2.0 Express, #FW8USB2-E; and Tango FireWire 800/USB 2.0 PCIe, #FW8USB2A-E?Oct-12-09
#FW8USB2-E (now obsolete) had two external FireWire 800 ports and two USB 2.0 ports. #FW8USB2A-E (current version) has three external FireWire800 ports and two USB 2.0 ports. #FW8USB2A-E also uses a higher-performance Texas Instruments FireWire 800 controller, which translates into up to 42% higher bandwidth to fast hard drives and other FireWire devices.
