I got the Rocketfish USB 3 PCIe card to work easily enough using the included generic USB3 multi beast installer.
Things were looking pretty good, I was able to duplicate a USB3 hard drive to a bare internal drive (disk util restore), and while the disk technically wasn't mounted, this went just find and pretty speedy.
Thats where things stopped going so well, I tried encrypting the external drive, had some problems where the disk would just 'eject' improperly randomly (within 30 min of booting).
I thought it had something to do with CoreStorage (encryption), so I erased it and started to try to use it as a TimeMachine disk (normal disk). I ended up having the same problems.
I've disabled disk sleep, swapped the external HDD and power adapter. I can find no reason for the 'ejects incorrectly' after a couple of minutes, thus I have to assume it is an issue with the USB3 card/kext combo.
Any ideas?
