Will a U320 drive fall back to the U160 bandwidth? I'm finding
conflicting advice on google, some say no problem, other say I'll kill
the U320 in short order, not seeing any hints in the man pages.
To the best of my knowledge U320 drives should work fine negotiated
down to U160. Or not work at all because they can't do non-PPR
negotiation.
i have U320 drives working fine with U160 controllers.
i have also held in my hand new ibm/hitachi U320 SCA
drives clearly labeled "not for use with U160 controllers".
i did not attempt to use them, instead i returned them for
credit and got other drives.
