Hi all,
Recently I added some 4TB WD SATA3 6Gbps disks into my raid system. It works but only runs at 1.5Gbps. MegaRaid Storage Manager shows me that the "Drive Speed" is 6.0Gbps and the "Negotiated Link Speed" is 1.5Gbps.
Then I tried to put some HGST 2TB SATA3 disks into the system. They also ran at 1.5Gbps.
However, I have a bunch of 640G WD6401AALS disks (very old) running at 3Gbps for almost a decade.
Is there any configuration that I need to change? Or it's just that the link speed of new generation hard drives is limited by my backplane/HBA.
Thank you.
B.C.
