Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Well, I've tried:
Connecting the expander using two expander cables, drive still shows up as 3g
Changing the control-expander link cable, still 3g
Changing the expander-drive cable, still 3g
Now I've got another 3TB drive on order the same as the others in the array, so I'll test with that...
I tried upgrading the firmware on the expander, but I've got another cable arriving today to swap out to test. If it is the cable I'll be annoyed as I went and found 6" ones especially to save space in the case :)
Thanks, though. I am hoping it's something simple like this and not more serious...
I've got an Intel RES2SV240, all plumbed into an LSI 9265 and seemingly happy, but it's not negotiating SATA drives at 6G, just 3G. I know it's not a case of needing two uplink cables, and I also know the drives attached (Seagate 3TB NAS) are 6Gbps. This is confirmed in MegaRAID as it sees the...
Main server has:
LSI 9265-8i with BBU
Intel RES2SV240 Expander
M5016 with SuperCap
8087 to 8088 adaptor to feed external SAS
Mini Proliant:
LSI 9240-8i
I get the love for ZFS, I really do, but decent hardware RAID is still the thing for me.
