Lexar Professional 600X...86MB/sec
Transcend 600X...............71MB/sec
SanDisk Extreme Pro........61MB/sec |

| Can I use the AJA IO Express with the Sonnet Qio in a MacBook Pro? | Mar-23-10 |
| Yes. Just plug the AJA ExpressCard/34 adapter into one of the Qio's two ExpressCard/34 slots. |
  |

| My Qio was working fine with my ExpressCard/34 bus interface card, but the Qio does not work with my PCIe Express bus interface card in an early 2009 MacPro. | Mar-31-10 |
| Check the serial number on the bottom of the Qio. If it starts with A, contact Sonnet support for more information. |

| My unibody MacBook Pro will spontaneously restart after shutdown with Qio attached. | Mar-31-10 |
516 |
| What kind of battery can I use with the Qio? | Apr-08-10 |
| A battery should be capable of providing 12Volts @ 3 Amps and have an XLR 4-pin power connector. Nominal power usage of Qio is 9W, and attached F2s are 8 Watts each. An example of a compatible battery is the Bescor MM7XLR-NC (BC-500 charger sold separately) that can provide 12Volts @ 7.2Amps and has a 50 Watt-hour capacity. This battery could power a Qio for 5.5 hours, or a Qio plus F2 for 3 hours. |

| With a Qio connected, my Mac Pro kernel panics when I shut down after using Avid Media Composer. | Jul-31-13 |
547 |
| I'm getting a OS X kernel panic when I remove an SxS card from the Qio connected to a tower Mac Pro that also has a video capture card installed. | Oct-31-14 |
| If you have a Mac Pro model 1,1, put the video capture card (such as AJA Kona or Black Magic DeckLink card) in Mac Pro PCIe slot 3 and the Qio bus interface card in PCIe slot 2 to fix this issue. If you have a different model of Mac Pro, the problem occurs only in one of Qio's SxS slots, so use only the other SxS slot. Sonnet and Sony are working to address this issue. |

| Is Qio compatible with the Matrox T/ADP Thunderbolt Port Adapter? | Feb-28-12 |

| Why is the Panasonic OS X P2 driver not compatible with 64-bit mode, while the Sony SxS driver, CF driver and SATA drivers are compatible with 64-bit mode? | Oct-31-14 |
| This issue is now resolved. The Panasonic P2 driver included with Qio software version 1.2.3 and later is 64-bit compatible. Installing Qio 1.3.2 or later adds P2 support to systems running OS X in 64-bit mode, including Mavericks (10.9) and Yosemite (10.10)

| I connected a Red Station media reader to the eSATA ports, but the media would not mount. How do I mount the media? | May-06-13 |
| Mac OS 10.7.5 will not mount FAT32 volumes connected to the eSATA ports of this device. (FAT32 volumes mount fine in 10.6.8 and in 10.8.2 and later.)
As a workaround, you can manually mount volumes with the following procedure:
1) Open terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
2) Run the following command:
diskutil list
Look for the target volume in the IDENTIFIER column. The volume will have a name like disk4s2.
3) Create a mount point by using the following terminal command:
mkdir /Volumes/myvolume
Note: myvolume is the name of the mount point you will create and must be unique - for example, you cannot mkdir /Volumes/FAT if a volume named FAT is already mounted.
4) Mount the target volume with the command:
sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk4s2 /Volumes/myvolume
Note: disk4s2 is the from the IDENTIFIER column from step 2. myvolume is the unique name you chose in step 3.
The volume should now be mounted and is available for use. The volume must also be unmounted through terminal - finder will not be able to unmount the volume.
The command to unmount the volume is:
sudo umount /Volumes/myvolume
where myvolume is the mount point you created in step 3. |

| My Qio Does Not Recognize My SD-to-SxS Adapter | May-07-13 |

| I have a Retina MacBook Pro (or other Mac introduced in 2012), and my machine won't boot after installing Qio software. | Dec-06-12 |
| Boot in safe mode. In Terminal, type: sudo nvram boot-args="dart=0x0" and restart. You can undo this later with the command sudo nvram -d boot-args . |

| My Stardom RAIDSonic ST3620-2S-S2 is not reliable with 6Gb drives and and a 6Gb controller. | Jul-08-13 |
| The Stardom RAIDSONIC ST3620-2S-S2 is not reliable when connected at 6Gb. It was designed for 3Gb SATA. If you connected previously using a 3Gb controller, even with 6Gb drives, the connection was 3Gb. With the 6Gb controllers and 6Gb drives, the connection is negotiated at 6Gb, but the connection is not reliable because of the older design of the Stardom chassis does not support 6Gb. The drives may not be recognized or if recognized, transfers will fail at some point. |

| Can I format an SxS card in UDF format in macOS? | Jan-20-21 |
| Yes, but you must use Terminal.
1) Open Terminal
2) Run
diskutil list
to get the name of the disk. It will be something like "disk4". Ejectable media are typically the last in the list.
3) Run
newfs_udf -v "My Volume Name" disk4
if disk4 was the correct one. The volume name is anything you want of course.
4) Unplug and replug the SxS card
(Due to somebody's bug, the disk will only mount after being ejected.)
5) You can run
newfs_udf
without any parameters to see other parameters that can be set.
The process can be automated somewhat by writing a bash script, which can be looked up on the internet. |
