Hmmm, that sucks that it doesn't show up, I don't have any suggestions since it worked for me. I never did anything secific as far as I know, I believe the HBA has always been using SATA 3.0

Just wanted to cross post for discoverability, I successfully updated an SM863 (MZ7KM960HAHP00D6, not the …D3 one) from firmware GB32 to GB57 at the cost of 256 reallocated sectors/blocks. The update fixed slow write speed (presumably the endurance management issue). The other SMART information...
