</div>I intended to mention in the original message that this was a WD red 3TB<br>
SATA drive, perhaps I forgot. So it is a SATA drive, but there are no<br>
expanders involved, it is connected directly to a single port on the SAS<br>
hba. I was aware of potential issues with SATA drives and SAS expanders, and<br>
made sure to avoid such a configuration, but my understanding was that a<br>
SATA disk attached directly to a SAS hba shouldn't be a problem.<br>
