I'm betting there is an expander, it looks fancy and some enclosure device shows up in the lsi firmware as well as cfgadm output.. Its also dual ported (and I have tried unplugging one cable with no different behavior). I may or may not be able to test these drives in another system.. let me try

I bet you $50 you can use sas2ircu on the IT firmware, particularly with the locate command. [Don't take the bet; if you do, I'll link you to a private github repo with some code that does it, and my PayPal account.] - Rich On Fri, Nov 18, 2011 at 6:29 PM, Jason J. W. Williams
