Demonstrably Compatible Components
Dubious, Problematic, Unstable or Incompatible Components
SATA Hard Drives
SONAR users storing their audio data on SATA hard drives have reported having numerous problems. It's recommended to store your SONAR audio on an IDE or external hard drive, by simply putting your audio folder there and pointing Sonar to it in the "Project Folders" box in Options | Global | Folders.
Note that having Windows, or even the Sonar program itself, on a SATA drive does not seem to cause these problems.
ProTools Hardware
SONAR has serious problems using ProTools hardware. See this forum thread for more details.
The 64-Bit Question
Cakewalk's official take on using Sonar on 64-bit computers can be read here.
Note that this is not the same as using SONAR's 64-Bit Precision option.
