1. This product supports compatible higher capacity SSDs as they become available. Read/Write performance measured with SanDisk Ultra II SSDs using ATTO Disk Benchmark, 64MB transfers.
2. This product’s SSD performance will vary based on the type and number of SSDs used, simultaneous data transfers via the card’s USB port, and the computer’s PCIe architecture.
3. This product’s USB performance will vary based on simultaneous data transfers via attached SSDs, and the computer’s PCIe architecture.
4. See this Mac Pro installation video.
5. macOS 10.12 erroneously reports a 5Gbps connection when connected at 10Gbps.

6. Drivers, Documentation, FAQs

1. In a Mac Pro, the SSDs are seen as external drives, how do I prevent accidental ejects? 
   There is no provision in macOS to make SSDs on a PCIe card to appear as internal and non-ejectable. If you want to prevent accidental ejection, open a file on the volume with Text Edit, which will prevent macOS from ejecting the volume, because a file will be in use by Text Edit.
2. The Fusion Dual 2.5" SSD RAID PCIe card gives an macOS error message upon wake from sleep. 
   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.
