Areca HP expander: view link speed

[Jeroen1000]

Hi everyone,

I've gone though all the menu's and I can't find it. Is there a way to see the negociated link speed between an Areca 1680 card and the HP-expander?

Also, I've added Hitatchi HDS5C3020ALA632 (2TiB SATA 6.0 Gb/s) drives and the Areca repports the current SATA mode as SATA300 and the supported SATA mode also as SATA300. Now, the first one is correct as I know the expander will not negociate a 6 Gb/s link but the supported mode is not reported correctly as SATA600.

I'm just wondering how to verify every link is negociated at the highest speed possible

Thanks!
Jeroen

I've just sent an email to Areca. Maybe it is hidden in the CLI somewhere. I'll update this post when I get an answer
