Has anyone experienced issues with the ST32000641AS 6Gbit Sata disks and expanders ?

These don't seem to play well with the Supermicro 3Gbit SAS backplanes.

Expanders only negotiate 150Mbit or simply refuse to work in that bay.

:mad:
 
Not all Supermicro backplanes are the same, there are different generations, so if you want feedback you need to specify the exact model of your case. I'm guessing your case has one of the older gen SAS-1 LSI expander chips.
 
Yes, the 3gbit SAS-1 versions.
I've tried with 826E1, 826E2, 836E1 and 846E2.
Some are worse than others.

I haven't any Ex6 version to try yet.

The ST32000641AS is the new 6gbit SATA interface.
