Oh, that drive works on ports 5-6 ?

I assumed that no drive that supports LPM worked on ports 5-6.
(And that you simply reported WD20EFAX-68FB5N0 because that is
what you had plugged in on that port originally.)


So you are saying that:
WD5000AAKX-001CA0 works with LPM enabled (lpm-pol 3), on port 5-6.
but
WD20EFAX-68FB5N0 gets timeouts with LPM enabled (lpm-pol 3), on port 5-6.

That is weird indeed.
