I have a sunfire v245 with 4 Sata disks (TOSHIBA MQ01ABB2  0U)

my controller:
0000:0d:01.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1064 PCI-X Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 02)

[   86.909571] Fusion MPT SAS Host driver 3.04.20

Moduls load:
mptsas                 33574  2
scsi_transport_sas     21704  2 mptsas
mptscsih               17605  1 mptsas
mptbase                53658  3 mptctl,mptsas,mptscsih

I forgot to tell that there were normaly SAS storages attacht which perfom well. So its a combination between my Sata storages and the Lsi controller.
