Unfortunately no, these are serial ata drives and I saw this in the 
dmesg output:

I think that I am in PI04 mode, but this is an issue with the driver.

The firmware for the controller is set to JBOD.

I set the min to 1000

orion raid # cat /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min
1000

It seems to me this might be more of a driver issue, can anyone elaborate?
