January 11, 20215 yr I have a H200 flashed as a LSI 9211-8i in IT mode in my R510, I have two 12TB white label WD drives (WD120EMFZ and WD120EDAZ). Both of those drives are showing link speed of 6Gbps but negotiated at 3Gbps. My other capacity WD white label drives are showing as negotiated link speed of the full 6Gbps. Any suggestions?

January 13, 20215 yr Linking at 6Gbps for me, LSI 9211-4i which is what I had available, so possibly a cable/backplane issue: But like mentioned you're not missing any performance, SATA2 is capable of 275MB/s
