January 1, 20251 yr Hi, I have a few drives which are showing up as set to 3Gb/s - but capable of full 6Gb/s (two are HDD, one is a SDD in my cache pool). I reseated the SATA cables, and tried replacing the SATA cables all together - no luck. They are all using SATA ports on the MB not a card - and other devices on the MB SATA ports are showing correctly as current 6GB/s. any suggestions on how to troubleshoot? I have searched / read and also see that it wont make any difference to performance - except possibly the one SSD running at 3GB... but still I don't like things not working correctly... thanks
January 1, 20251 yr Author that must be it then - never thought about that (only 2 being 6..). thanks for the help on this .. now on to trying to figure out why the server keeps locking up requiring hard shutdown. As you can see its a ~12 year old server that has been running very well until recently so I think something is failing. thanks
