Well,
I was thinking you folks might have nailed the Phison 3110 S10 controller .Can we have some time frame for that .Lot of devices on this controller These days

Are there instructions anywhere yet on how to work with filevault drives with 6.2, or is it relatively automatic? (I just received one that clones perfectly, but doesn't prompt on the MacOS to mount with a password, though DE sees that it's using filevault).

Right-click on FileVault partition and select "map". Click on down arrow on top toolbar (to the left of the square grid). Select "add virtual drive."
Then select "add virtual drive (Encrypted)". A dialog box will open prompting for FileVault password. By the way, don't give me credit for figuring this out myself. Tech support gave me the info. Good luck.

We need some kind of manual update for these new things too.
Will it be released?

Amazing update! Thanks Ace team for all the hard work.

Is the Marvell 88SS9188 controller supported?
I have a Sandisk X300S SD7TN3Q with this controller.

Hi,

I'm working on a sandisk X300s SD77S83Q-128 with marwell controller 88SS9188, drive ID 0.5MB only.
Any idea?
Thank you!
