[OmniOS-discuss] WDC WD10EZEX problems

I believe there are some SATA 6Gbps disks that only have 1.5Gbps as a fallback, and do not support 3Gbps. For a spinning hard disk, certainly a 7200 rpm disk, it is not a noticeable handicap to run at 1.5 vs. 3Gbps. On Thu, May 29, 2014 at 1:30 PM, Michael Rasmussen m...@miras.org wrote: On
