I have a server where I will be updating the Adaptec RAID controllers firmware and drivers soon, and so I was arcconf to check a few things.
The four disks are all the same model configured as a RAID10 volume. In running the GETCONFIG of arcconf, I was a bit surprised that one of the drive is running at 3.0gb/s instead of 6, like the other drives.
What could be the reason for this, and is there a way to get it to run at 6gb/s?
