SATA vs SAS Lights on Backplane

June 9th, 2015, 10:59

Hi

New to this site, so sorry to post a question at my first visit.

On our Supermicro servers, SAS drive light up solid blue, but SATA drives do not (they only light on drive access) - this is the behaviour hard coded by Supermicro.

As we are using more and more Samsung 850 SSD (SATA) devices, this is becoming an issue, with one exception - a couple of test Kingston V300 SSD's light up as if they were recognised as SAS drives.

Does anyone know if there is a change we can make to Samsung SSD's to duplicate this?

Hope the above makes sense

Thanks

Mark
