    You experiences with HP SAS Expander 12GB/s

    I have few of these exapnders: HPE 12G SAS Expander Card (QuickSpecs/c04346272.pdf) And they are not so cooperative (expander dropouts for a second every 10-30 seconds) with IBM and/or LSI 12GB/s RAID controllers. Expander seems to work better if speed is manually lowered to 6GB/s and raised...
