    Subject[RESOLVED] Re: Second drive on VT6421
    From
    Date
    Hi All,

    I tried setting both drives to 1.5Gbps on a whim and low and behold it
    worked. btw. setting a single drive to 1.5 didn't help. I had to set
    both.

    I had considered this from the beginning but thought that since each
    drive was detected on their own at 3Gbps there was no good reason they
    couldn't both.
    There must be something about that chip...Perhaps the way the firmware
    allocates the bandwidth. ie 2 channels with a total of 3Gbps then a
    second drive cannot coexists if the first requests all 3Gbps?!
