Windows7/Bootcamp on Sonnet-Tempo-SSD-Card over PCIe?

Hi,
I have Windows7-Pro/Bootcamp 3 on a SSD and it works fine, but over internal SATA-Port with only max. 3 Gbit/s.
The SSD on Sonnet-Tempo-SSD can work with 6 Gbit/s over PCIe-Port.
Is it possible to install Windows/Bootcamp 5 in this way, will it be bootable then
with the latest Bootcamp 5 now?
Sonnet Support so far says:
"Unfortunately, you will not be able to run Windows/Bootcamp from the Tempo SSD card, as the drive is recognized as an externally mounted volume, and in order to run these OSes, the drives need to be mounted internally (through one of the drive bays) in order for the boot to work properly.
Windows will load normally if the Tempo SSD cards are mounted in a PC, likewise, OS X will boot if used in a Mac, but unfortunately, running a virtual machine (Bootcamp) will not work in the Mac".

Sonnet will not boot Windows in boot camp, but the Apricorn Solo x2 will

Apple raid card with Sonnet Tempo SSD problem?

I am currently using Mac Pro 5.1 (2010)
My configuration is
1) Apple Raid Card in PCIe slot 4
2TB bootable HDD and 3x 1TB HDDs configured to RAID 0
2) Apple Radeon 5770 card in PCIe slot 1
3) Sonnet Tempo SSD with Apple OEM 512GB SSD in PCIe slot 2
4) Caldigit Fasta-6GU3pro USB3 + eSATA card in PCIe slot 3
When I boot from 2TB bootable HDD in main slot #1, everything works well.
But, when I install Mavericks to 512GB SSD in PCIe slot, installation finishes without problem, but the system NEVER boot up with that drive.
(The drive appears in boot disc selection in system preference, but nothing changed even select it and reboot.)
(I did a lot of PRAM reset too...)
The SSD works well when I put it to 2nd ODD slot with spare SATA2 connectors in there. (boot properly, etc).
But when I put it back to TEMPO card, It never appears during boot process (even I press option key).
Maybe problem is due to
1) Issue with APPLE raid card
2) problem due to two additional SATA controllers in PCIe rains.
3) Issue with card configuration (I have to test change the position of cards except APPLE RAID which requires slot 4)
Does anybody experienced similar problems?

It is not uncommon to have trouble installing, cloning, or booting from a PCIe card - though the Sonnet Tempo Pro SSD is one of the reliable ones, still, you should install the OS first on SATA II normally, then move the SSD to its new home.
The fact the SSD works on the ODD port - have you asked or looked for firmware update or anything from Sonnet and what they have to say?
With three PCIe cards to contend with, they may interact - not unheard of - and the USB3 may need drivers first to work?

Drobro S, Sonnet Tempo Express Card 3/4 sata equals kernal panic

I have tried for the last week to make this work, bought a rad tech express card,it caused my computer and another on that we test it on to KP, then I found a driver that might work, it seemed to then in the middle of the transfer everything stopped and when I removed the express card the gray screen came down, retuned rad tech express card,bought sonnet card as they say on Drobo knowledge base this works, same thing, though I did get an error that said -31 error, something about permissions on files could not be read or written, cannot do anything without KP, updated firmware on DROBO s. I am out of patience, any thoughts?

2008/09 Unibody Macbook Pros suffer from an epidemic failure of their ExpressCard slot. You will not find any eSATA card using any of the three available chipsets that will work fully reliable in these Macs.
Blame Apple. I'm onto this for two years now and will get a 2010 MBP replacement soon. According to Other World Computing (OWC) the 2010 models should work (they just put some BIG red crosses over all 2008/09 MBP to mark them incompatible). Once I get the 2010 one I will test it and post results.
I will also publish my case number once this is through.

Sonnet Tempo 5.09 firmware

I recently picked up a couple more Sonnet Tempo SATA cards. One has the 5.09 firmware version. Seems to work fine but I'm tempted to up grade to 5.13. Then I started wondering if there might be a downside to the upgrade if I was to use the card in a 6500 or 7500.

I would say "If it works, don't break it".
Firmware updates are typically for issue resolution or additional machine/feature support, often at the cost of older model support.....

LG GGC-H20L with Sonnet Tempo Sata Pci Card into Powermac G5

Hello dear Community.
I have a LG GGC-H20L HD-DVD/Blu Ray Drive. And a Sonnet Tempo SATA PCI Card.
The Problem is, that the Computer cant find the LG GGC-H20L Drive. The Sonnet Tempo Card it find. Broke i drivers? And where i can get it?
Can one of you Help me?

I made sure there was a good 'thunk' as it slotted in to the PCI slot everytime I installed it, I wiggled it to make sure, I applied reasonable pressure to make sure it was seated correctly, etc. I tried everything, short of using a hammer! Still no joy. I have a PCI firewire card which works perfectly in all slots.
I've sent it back to the supplier for a replacement/upgrade to the Tempo-X 4+4.
Thanks for the tips.

Will a Sonnet Tempo-X eSata card work in a 2010 or 2009 Mac Pro?

Hi Folks,
I just bought a 2010 refurbed 12 core - very excited!
I'm going to probably sell my G5 and G4 which are used for video transfer.
In the G5, I have the Sonnet Tempo-X eSata PCI card 4 x 4 (I think it's PCI-X?) and I'm wondering if that will work in either of the Mac Pros:
2006 2 x 2.66
2009 quad 2.66
or the 2010 12 core 2.66?
I need a 4 slot eSata solution for the addonics esata enclosure. It's my main capture box.
Any help or suggestions would be great.
Cheers,
Keebler

Thanks Sir Winston. That's what I was afraid of.
I think I'll end up just keeping my G5 for the meantime. A new card is pretty much worth what I could sell the G5 for, but for now, I'll just keep my workflow the same.
Maybe in the future.

Sonnet Tempo SATA E4i does not work??

This stinks!! I have around 500GB worth of data locked on that Partition. Anybody else having problems with this card in 10.5??

For the record... after doing my Leo upgrade, I promptly dragged my 3 SATA drives in to the "do not index" page in the Spotlight prefs, then after waiting well over an hour of letting Spotlight index my boot volume, I issued a Restart. Finder seemed hosed and the machine churned and churned, apparently still trying to complete the indexing. I left it overnight because I was out of steam at 4am. When I woke, it was still spinning, so noticing that the drives had stopped accessing, I did a forced shutdown and then a Safe Boot to force Disk Utility to do its thing. My machine came up fine, and after rebooting normally, I had to drag the SATA drives into the Spotlight ignore pane one more time (they didn't stick because of the hard shutdown I guess), and now all drives are working fine on my system, including the SATAs, which I've done numerous read/write tests on (in Finder). Of note is that a few days ago, before the Leo upgrade, I had updated my Sonnet Tempo E4i firmware to the latest (2.1.2) - not sure wht impact that had, but it couldn't hurt. I'll report back if things go South, but so far, so good on my G5 Quad with the G5 Jive, 3 Maxtor 500GBs, 2 bay internal SATAs, and a bunch of FW drives. I hope you guys get it going also.

Sonnet pro express card does not work with lion 7.3.4 warning

After upgrading to Lion 7.3.4 my volumes attached via a Sonnet Express Pro 34 card via SATA no longer mount.
I have the current driver from Sonnet 2.2.8
The volumes appear in Disk Utility, AND pass both the disk verify and repair
However, attempts to mount the volumes result in a message from Disk Utility to attempt repairing the disk

Tried deinstalling and reinstalling the Sonnet driver. Doesn't help.
Really odd that the drives will readly pass Disk Utility's first aid checks and repairs, spin up and down under Disk Utility, but simply won't mount.
Revereted back to 10.7.3 and now back on line.
Hopefully Sonnet will create a fix, but wow, could be Lion 10.7.4's fault given that the underlying drive structure looks sound to Disk Utility (even under 10.7.4). Lion 10.7.4 dislikes something about the Sonnet Tempo Pro Expresscard/34 sata connected drives.

Sonnet Tempo Sata E2P driver

I just installed a new Sonnet Tempo SATA E2P card, but for some reason it's not recognizing the driver. I've tried installing the driver several times, and each time it tells me the install is successful. But when I open System profiler, the PCI card shows up just fine, but under "driver installed" it says "No."
I've got a Dual-core 2.3GHz PowerPC G5 running OSX (10.5.7), and it's supposed to be compatible. Any ideas?

What's the first character of the card's serial number? According to Sonnet's website with regard to G5 compatibility: "Only Tempo SATA E2P with serial numbers starting with A or B compatible; Tempo SATA E2P with serial numbers starting with C are not compatible in Power Mac G5."
If that's not the case, are you trying to install drivers from an installation CD or have you downloaded the latest drivers from Sonnet's website?

I have a macbook air bought in 2010 wit liquid damage that might has affected the SSD card. I need to get my data but apple won't help. Authorized dealers never seem to have the same model to try whether the SSD card works. How can I get my data quickly?

Hi
I have a macbook air bought in 2010. It has liquid damage that might or might not affected the SSD card. I need the data on my SSD card for work and I need it urgently. Apparently Apple won't get the data out, even if I have apple care... Licensed apple dealers need to have the same macbook air model so they can insert the SSD card and check whether the data is there, and they never seem to have one...
I'm really disappointed with apple. It's been two weeks and I haven't been able to find out whether the SSD card is holding my data. It can't take that long to do it in store... How can they sell a product and then wash their hands on the matter?
Anyway, enough with the apple rant. I need to get this data urgently so I need to find out how I can get it out of the card. The SSD card and data might be fine so I don't want to take it to a data recovery centre and get charged loads.
Thanks for your help.

See this link for a 4870 card, best instructs for flashing for a noob like me. (last lowest price was $150 for a 1GB vRAM 4870 from TigerDirect).

However, not every 4870 card will work with the ROM currently floating around out there. BEWARE!

Can I use an external graphics card over Thunderbolt?

Could anyone please tell me if I can use a graphics card with a Mac Pro 2013 over Thunderbolt using an expansion chassis? I have read that OS X doesn't support graphics cards over thunderbolt, however I've also read things that indicate it is possible.
I'm thinking of the using NVIDIA K5000 for Mac with aMagma Thunderbold to PCIe Expansion Chassis. Any help or advice appreciated. Thank you:)

Here is an article about Drivers that do just what you described, but for the NVIDIA 4000.
http://mediapros.co.uk/portfolio-view/thunderbolterizer/
An important deficiency remains. You don't get near a 16x slot worth of bandwidth, so transfers to/from the card may be slow. But if you want this for GPU computation, it may be workable (if expensive).

You can put it into any notebook SATA enclosure such as Build your own External/Add your own drive up to 1.5TB! OWC Express USB 2.0 Express Kits From $18.79 USB 3.0 Express Kits From $21.99.

We are using iPhoto '09 trying to import photos from a memory card. We stopped the import and ejected the card over 20 hours ago, but iPhoto says its still importing. Any idea how long the import should run if there were 5000 photos on the card?

Don't know how long it would take to import that many photos but if you stopped import and ejected the card ther is something else wrong here.
I would Force Quit iPhoto. Then Restart your mac. Then restart iphoto to see if any or all of your photos were imported. If they ae you're good to go. If they were not imported I would try importing fewer photos at a time and see what happens.
