Upon doing this;

sysctl -a | grep mps

I get this;

dev.mps.0.driver_version: 14.00.00.01-fbsd

LSIs site mentions the latest drives at being 17.00.00.00

I'll go ahead and install the latest to see what happens.

Whats the best way to do this, I assume build it and load via loader.conf?

Hi,

So the firmware versions are as follows;

Intel RS25GB008 which is a rebadged LSI 9207-8e which uses the LSI 2308 
controller;

Intel firmware13.00.66.00-IT

LSI 9206-16e which uses the LSI 2308 controller as well;

LSI firmware 17.00.01.00-IT

Should I specifically set any of the card settings like "hook int" or "bypass 
int hook"... etc...?

I'll get you the exact firmware revs on Monday.

I can look on there site but would rather boot and record the exact numbers 
from there.

Well, the 2 LSI 9207s are rebadge Intel being Intel RS25GB008 ( 
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/servers/raid/raid-controller-rs25gb008.html
 ) with the latest Intel firmware.

The lone 9206-16e has the latest LSI firmware.

Shall I downgrade to a particular version?

I would love to resolve this performance oddity.

Thanks for getting back to me, I know its a weird one with an annoying subject 
as its apples and oranges.

I would be happy to get you exact info of anything I have, so feel free.

It may very well be an LSI firmware issue. What are the firmwares for
those HBAs?
