Sonnet has posted a new beta driver as of Dec 6th - time to test and post results. It offers "improved support for Thunderbolt," but I hope they fixed our issue as well...
Tempo SATA Pro Family BETA Driver (OS X- Intel Macs) v2.2.7b2

I have actually just sent this link to a friend of mine while he's on a job. Just heard from him and he is now no longer able to mount any esata drives to his Lion Mac Pro with Sonnet esata card. So he's in the process of doing a round about way to get a Snow Leopard Partition going because I guess Lion doesn't want to just let him roll back to Snow.Originally Posted by Ryan Schroeder
Anyone else have any experience with the beta yet? Or any other solution?

Got the following from Sonnet on Friday. Haven't got the update they spoke of yet, but will post when I do.
Beta 2 doesn't address the issue. The engineers are still looking into this. One of them thinks it's the SATA driver, the other thinks it's something about FAT32 formatting in Lion. The latter is the one who wrote the E4P driver so who knows who will win the argument.
I've been told there should be an update by the end of the day so if that happens, you'll be one of the first people I email.

I am having the same issues with a 12-Core I purchased on Friday with my E4P. I just called Sonnet Tech Support and the "tech" did not know about the beta released on Dec 6th on their site exists... He also does not know of anything in the works to correct it either.. So, I can not download via esata on my tower...

Ugg. Same issue here.

any new updates as to WHEN sonnet will have a new build. I believe someone said they talked to sonnet and they were to have an update YESTERDAY?
....anything NEW?

LOL... Wow. That is just stupid. So the dude who wrote the driver can't admit that there's a problem to fix? It has *NOTHING* to do with FAT32 formatting in Lion. It doesn't matter if the storage volume is formatted, unformatted, unpartitioned, formatted as NTFS, ZFS, HPFS, etc.. It is a driver issue with something Apple changed in Lion at the kernel level regarding their SATA interface layer.
So, now I have to wonder, just what have the driver guys at Sonnet been doing for the past year? Apple delivered Lion to ADC member developers 11 months ago... *FOR THIS PURPOSE -- TO FUCKING TEST AND FIX THINGS BEFORE THEY RELEASE IT TO THE MASSES*
I know I'm being an ass, but I don't think I'm out of line here. The only Sonnet card I currently own is an E4P and it was pulled some while back in exchange for an ATTO 6G card... But I have a few clients suffering with these issues right now and I'm steering them to other vendors for solutions.
Jeebus, you can't buy a new Mac without Lion installed. Lion has been out for months now and software is starting to show up that works better on Lion than on Snow Leopard. The conventional wisdom of holding off of that OS update to make sure all your hardware is supported only applies for so long. After a month or three, it becomes more an issue of "well, that hardware has shit drivers, I'm gonna have to buy something else".

Jeff, you haver a link to the Atto 6g card? ....looking for 4 esata outs...
