SOLVED -
CABLES were bad
I crossed flashed a few Dell H310s to the IT mode for use in my new solaris ZFS system in a Supermicro 846 with an X9 SM board using the following link:
Updated: SAS HBA crossflashing or flashing to IT mode, Dell Perc H200 and H310
I am testing the first card and no matter what SATA drive I put in, it only sees them at 3.0GBPS on Smart tools.
I've run a similar system for years with M1015s flashed to the IT mode with the same drives showing at 6.0GBPS. I have some new cables coming is a couple of days. What is the best path to see if this is an HBA problem or another issue?
Also, I'm not sure if I should run three H310s, or one H310 with an expander. Any advice?
I'm a relative beginner when it comes to this stuff. Any help is appreciated.
