3rd party SSD drive in HP Proliant server only shows 3G transfer speed




After receiving some excellent advice in a previous question, we've bought a OWC Mercury Extreme Pro drive for use in our HP Proliant DL360 G7 server. Both the drive, and the P410i array controller, will apparently support a 6Gb/s connection.



However, when I view the drive in the HP Array Config Utility, the transfer speed is only listed as 3Gbp/s:

Is there anything I need to do to kick this drive into 6Gb/s mode, or is the HP ACU just confused by the non-HP drive? The P410i array controller firmware is v6.00-2, which I believe is the most recent.


Answer



The 410 / 410i seemsto be limited to 3Gb/s for SATA disks (6Gb/s SAS and 3Gb/s SATA support)
