Well, the 2 LSI 9207s are rebadge Intel being Intel RS25GB008 ( =
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/servers/raid/raid-controller-rs25gb=
008.html ) with the latest Intel firmware.

The lone 9206-16e has the latest LSI firmware.

Shall I downgrade to a particular version?

I would love to resolve this performance oddity.

Thanks for getting back to me, I know its a weird one with an annoying =
subject as its apples and oranges.

I would be happy to get you exact info of anything I have, so feel free.
