  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Hardware:

Mac Pro 3,1 8-core
OSX Lion 10.7.1
Sonnet Tempo E4P eSATA interface
Red Station SSD
SSDs formatted by EPIC v1.6.40

GTX 285
Red Rocket
Decklink Extreme 3D

Red Station is attached via eSATA

Whenever I pop in a mag it gives me the old "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer"...

The mag will show up in Disk Utility but will not mount.

If I attach the Red Station with FW800 it works as expected.

This setup worked perfectly in the past.

I'm assuming this is an issue with the Sonnet drivers... Anybody else experienced this?

Knew I shouldn't have "upgraded"...
 
Also, have you tried the FireWire connection to see if this is isolated to eSATA? I was just working this morning with SSD's, Sonnet eSATA Expresscard on my MBP with 10.7.1. No issues. Also connected to my tower via FW.
 
Test the firewire connection to see if it works there. I'm also betting a SATA driver issue. I can mount SSD's here just fine on 10.7.1 release and on the latest 10.7.2 developer seeds.
 
FW800 works fine.

I'll call Sonnet next week...
 
Hi McKay! I'm having the exact same problem with my new Sonnet Temp Expresscard. Did you happen to find a solution? I may have to go buy the Caldigit one instead if I can't get it to work.

thanks!

Still having issues... Funny thing is that it works great in my hackintosh running 10.7.1 but not in my real mac pro 3,1 running the same OS.
 
I should also mention that external hdds mount just fine... just not red ssds
 
Does it work on the Hackintosh using the same SATA adapter? I still think it's a SATA adapter / driver issue on your Mac. I'm mounting the SSD's all day long on ATTO and CalDigit SAS/SATA cards.
 
Having the same issue on my early 2008 MBP. With 10.7.1/10.7.2 + Sonnet Tempo Pro Expresscard + Red Mag reader, I get "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer..."

Take any of those variables out and everything is peachy: i.e,
10.7.1/10.7.2 + Sonnet Tempo Pro Expresscard + PM eSATA works;
10.7.1/10.7.2 + Dynex eSATA card + Red Mag reader works;
10.6.8 + Sonnet Tempo Pro Expresscard + Red Mag reader works.

Seems to be that particular combination. I emailed Sonnet about the issue, and they said they'd get RED in on it as well. Anyone else have any suggestions? The issue I'm having seems to be exactly the same as this - http://blog.newsyland.com/mac-os-x/...external-hard-drive-via-terminal-command-line
I can mount using the terminal, but then I cannot unmount at all.

Having the same issues on a 17" MacBook Pro (Early 2010 model) with 10.7.2 installed connected, via Sonnet Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard|34.
 
Same problem: MacPro 10.7.2, Sonnet Tempo Sata E4P and RedMag 1.8" .... won't recognize the Redmag ... did fine in 10.6.8 The Sonnet driver info says Lion Compatible.
 
I have a similar problem with Sonnet fw800 Pro express card. I got the warning once when I mounted, and every time I tried to copy SSD's using R3Dmanager I got copy errors. Reader and one drive connected to sonnet fw800 and other drive connected to native fw port on computer. little scary till I solved the problem. 10.7.2, brand new sonnet card reader (old one died before I went lion)
once I stopped using card- all copies went fine.

Russ - what sort of throughput are you getting with the Sata III Expresscard?
Click to expand...

Actually a bit slower than the Pro when using Sata II drives, but faster than the standard Tempo. Have to boot with Lion to see the card on my MBP (early 2011). Not the case with my older MBP and Snow Leopard.
 
Getting bit with the same problem. MBP Sonnet Pro card not recognizing card via esata. Works via FW800.
Ouch.
 
Sonnet needs to get their shit together. Apparently there's some issues with other eSATA devices in Lion and the Sonnet cards, not just RED Station / RED SSDs.
 
Are there any updates on this?

My Sonnet E4P does not work with the redstation under 1.7.2.
Must be the drivers.

I emailed sonnet today to their supportmail.

Did anyone had any feedback on this from sonnet and/or red ?
