Collected wisdom generally is do not plug in SATA drives into an expander.  Expanders don't know how to forward SATA commands, which causes the problems you're seeing.  Save yourself pain and either use directly-attached AHCI SATA, or get SAS drives.

Sorry for being blunt, but too many people have been burned this way.
