[OmniOS-discuss] WDC WD10EZEX problems

[Carlos M. Perez]

A few suggestions on things to check:

- Some of the 3GB SATA drives had a jumper that would limit operation to
1.5GB/s.  

- Is the controller limiting the port?  Not familiar with the 1068e, but
some of the LSI cards let you control the speeds on each port.

- swap the ports and see if the reverse happens.  If the Seagate connect
at 1.5, you either have the card locking the speed, or the ports are bad.
