Yes,

My SEDNA - PCI Express mSATA III (6G) SSD Adapter with 1 SATA III Port 
device has been working reliably for 4 days. The other part of the good news 
I'm reporting is that Sedna is unreliable unless an mSATA III SSD is used 
also in addition to a SATA SSD. Sedna was unreliable with just a SATA SSD 
attached by cable. I struggled with that problem for months, until Dropbox 
(upgrade) showed virus like qualities. An image of SATA SSD D: showed up on 
my Android phone.

This may be an arcane problem for newbies with new hardware.

The public service part of this announcement is that Dropbox and MS OneDrive 
may expose your online files to scrutiny.

Microsoft Storage Spaces Control can not be turned off in Win10 (its new) 
and there are no settings for it.
