Hi

I recently set up a new server and have populated all 24 bays now. 12 are populated with EXOS 20TB, 4 with Samsung evo 870 and 8 with 14TB IronWolf Pros

Bays 1-12 are the EXOS, 13-16 are Samsung Evo and 17-24 are the Ironwolf.

For some reason bay 20 negotiates at SATA II within Truenas.

If i reboot the system and go into the HBA card bios I can see it has also negotiated there at SATA II. I then remove it and reinsert it, it then negotiates back at SATA III. I boot back in to Truenas and can the DMESG show
Code:
da19: 300.000MB/s transfers


I have switched drives around and the SAS cables and it does the same thing.

I have created a pool with the IronWolfs and ran few benchmarks to see if any errors persists like I had previously in my other posts and nothing pops up in the logs.

I begining to think it could be a dodgy backplane port.

Below is the spec for my build

MB - SuperMicro - X10DRi
CPU - 2x Xeon E5 2667v4
RAM - 8x 2133Mhz ECC 32GB Modules - 256GB
HBA - LSI Logic Controller Card IT Mode 9305-24i 24-Port SAS 12Gb/s PCI-E 3.0
DRIVES - 12x 20TB Seagate EXOS, 4x Samsung EVO 870, 8x14TB IronWolf Pro
NIC - Mellanox Connectx4 25GBe dual sfp+
PSU - Corsair AX1500i
CPU COOLER - Noctua NH-D9DX i4 3U

SMARTS shows the following

HBA card, cable, backplane, or drive are flaky. Replace the failing component.
