On another note, these WD Passport drives are not practical. Our guy did a hack on the cable to have it fit. (YMMV with finding a molex cable and power source inside your macpro - perhaps from optical or 2nd GPU power? We took it from 4th unused HDD sata on backplane. Sonnet's support only advised it doesn't support drives unless provided additional power, and most of the new USB 3.0 external 2.5" models do not provide additional/optional AC/DC power. We were seeing issue where in the middle of cloning or restoring data to/from the external USB 3.0 drive, it would drop off the desktop with unmount error. Just a heads up, we've had success with external WD MyPassport 500-1TB external 2.5" USB 3.0 notebook drives connected to the Allegro card along with having the internal DC power tapped from spare sata power. Unfortunately, we don't have a WD MyPassport or other non-powered USB 3.0 drive to try. ( 2006-2008 Mac Pro owners could use a Y-Adapter off one of the PATA Optical drive power cables.-Mike) The PCI Sonnet card has a 4 pin molex so we rigged-modified a SATA power to molex cable from the 4th (unused) MacPro backplane SAS/SATA connector. Sonnet does not provide any adaptor cables for power. Note: these drives work on Apple's bus because there is more power output with Apple's USB bus. I can imagine the 750GB and 1TB WD USB 3.0 drives being an issue. Yeah, well tell WD to put power jacks on their 2.5" MyPassport line (not happening). Sonnet told me, "not all bus powered HDDs are supported and need to be ext ( external) powered". We have an issue with the card regarding some external "USB 3.0" bus powered drives that unpredictably unmount.

( v1.0.8 added 10.8 support, link above) The card needs the driver as 10.8.2 doesn't seem to see any USB 3.0 devices. (I updated from the Sonnet site due to 10.8 needing their Sept driver). "We have 2010 MacPro with the Sonnet Allegro USB 3.0 card using Sonnet's driver. Reader FYI on Allegro Card/USB Bus Power:Īnother Allegro USB3 card user wrote regarding bus-powered device compatibilty: (Monday's news had a 17in MacBook Pro owner report on two USB 3.0 express/34 cards and some comments about the lack of native/generic XHCI card support.) If anyone's used it with 10.8.2 let me know. There's also an Allegro USB 3.0 Express/34 card that assuming the same chipset/driver, should also work. And per their FAQ, v1.0.8 driver also supports 10.7.5.)
(Driver page post date and notes v1.0.8 added OS X 10.8 support. The linked OWC page has several OS X driver device compatibility notes (read before buying) and an advisory note but I wonder if it's current as OWC's Mountain Lion compatibility page lists the Allegro USB 3.0 card as compatible using Sonnet's 1.0.8 driver. (Examining the driver pkg from card vendors will often show the oem/chip mfr also.) I asked if he knew the USB controller chip used on that card but he wasn't able to check at this time. This is the Sonnet USB 3.0 card model USB3M-E, not their original USB3-E one. I use it for a Time Machine backup to a Seagate 3TB USB 3 hard disk on a 2008 Mac Pro.
