Sil3726 has only 5 ports. 6th port is an enclosure management port.
Wasn't there a patch submitted to ignore the enclosure mgt port?

I doubt this is the problem Chandra is seeing but it could be related.

Chandra, just to be complete, can you share which drive model and
firmware is printed on the drive label?

thanks,
