12Gbps SSD disk detected as 3Gbps by HP P410i controller

Hello,

Hello everyone!

I recenty bought a 400GB SSD MO0400JEFPA SAS 12G drive.

When installed in a Proliant ML350 G6 with P410i raid, the drive shows as it's a 3G drive.

The speed tests on the SSD are around 300MB/s tops, witch are quite low for the drive specs, meaning it is not in 6G SAS mode.

Here are the data on the hardware:

I already tried updating the raid firmware, did not help.
The SSD firmware is HPD2, witch is newer that anything on the HPE support page and it is not able to downgrade either.
From iLO, the backplane is not available to upgrade - it says: "Drive backplane data is not available."

Are the hardware not compatible?

To run 12Gb SSD SAS it's need a VERY high quality cable and backplane, P410i is 6GB/s controller, if you can't even get 6Gb connection I would suggest you to look at the cable and backplane.

That's being said. Look at the RAID management to see, the connection setting is not forcing the connection @ 3Gb
