Not sure what to make of this.
Chassis is a Supermicro SC836 with a X9SRH-7F MB with a builtin LSI 2308 HBA and a TQ backplane.
It also contains a Supermicro AOC-S3008L-L8E 12G HBA.
Half of the drive bays are connected to the 6G HBA and the other half to the 12G.
There's no difference between the 6G and 12G HBA.
Both tested HD's are empty and are 12G spinners.
However. The score is using the 6G HBA looks very much on the high side compared to 6G spinners so it looks like 6 G spinners can't max out a 6G HBA but a 12G spinner can. Is this right?
If so then 12G HBA's are snake oil unless you use them with SSD's.
