I thought 0x1095/0x3726 was a Silicon Image part. Can you confirm this? If it is, this sounds like a broken implementation to me. Here is what the Silicon Image 3726 Data Sheet says in the introduction: Silicon Image’s SiI3726 is 1-to-5 SATA Port Multiplier designed to provide a high performance link between a single SATA host port and 5 SATA device ports. So I don't know where the 6th device is getting connected. Some explanation/data sheet from the HW vendor would be helpful at this point. > Seagate Model: ST3750640AS > Firmware: 3.AAK > > Hitachi Model:HDS721075KLA330 > Firmware: Not sure Both of these drives work behind Sil3726.
