SATA-specific Controller Settings
In addition to the general settings listed on

Option
Description
Write
When enabled, the controller's write cache is enabled. Default
Cache
is Yes (enabled).
Caution—When enabled, there is a potential for data loss or
corruption during a power failure.
Description
The data transfer rate between the controller and devices.
The default setting is Auto, which allows the SAS card to
adjust the data transfer rate as required.
Note—SATA-II devices are always negotiated at 1.5 Gbps.
When enabled, determines whether the controller verifies
the accuracy of data transfer on the serial bus. Default
setting is Yes (enabled). Set to No (disabled) only if the
controller is connected to a device that does not support
CRC Checking.
In a situation where you want each phy on a controller to
be in a different SAS domain, this setting specifies a
unique world-wide name for each phy. Default is 0.
Note: This setting is for SAS address conflict resolution
only and should otherwise remain at its default value.
