FirmTek Thunderbolt PCIe Expansion Chassis Compatibility
The latest FirmTek drivers for the SeriTek/Q6G and SeriTek/e6G support use with a Thunderbolt PCIe Expansion Chassis, like the FirmTek ThunderTek/PX. This configuration offers external FirmTek eSATA ports via Thunderbolt for the 2013 Mac Pro, 2011 or later MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini and soon Windows notebooks. The FirmTek driver supports direct connect eSATA enclosures like the miniSwap/ES and port multiplication (PM) enclosures like the SeriTek/5PM. The high performance SeriTek/Q6G is Mac OS X Bootable, whether installed inside the Apple Mac Pro or inside a Thunderbolt PCIe expansion chassis.

When to Upgrade
The firmware and driver updates below are for Mac OS X 10.5.x "Leopard" and Mac OS X 10.4.x "Tiger" configurations. If your FirmTek controller is working well with your current version of Mac OS we highly recommend not upgrading. This falls under the heading, "If it's not broken don't fix it". While FirmTek tries to make every new driver release better than the last, there is always a chance that a new firmware/driver upgrade may actually cause an issue with some configurations.
