I cannot recreate this issue exactly like this. Here is my setup with a pm80xx
driver (Adaptec HBA):

[7:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      WDC  WUH721818AL W232  /dev/sdd   /dev/sg5
[7:0:1:0]    disk    ATA      WDC  WUH721818AL WTW2  /dev/sdi   /dev/sg6
[7:0:2:0]    disk    ATA      WDC  WUH722222AL Wf86  /dev/sdf   /dev/sg7
[7:0:3:0]    zbc     ATA      WDC  WSH722020AL W803  /dev/sdg   /dev/sg8

Using the first drive, I get:

sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdd

/dev/sdd:

 Model=WDC  WUH721818ALN604, FwRev=PCGNW232, SerialNo=3KG10LBK
 Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs }
 RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=56
 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=unknown, MaxMultSect=2, MultSect=off
 CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=4394582016
 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
 PIO modes:  pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
 DMA modes:  mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5 *udma6
 AdvancedPM=yes: disabled (255) WriteCache=enabled
 Drive conforms to: unknown:  ATA/ATAPI-2,3,4,5,6,7

 * signifies the current active mode

So all good. However, for the following drives, I get:

sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdi

/dev/sdi:
 HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: No message of desired type

(same for sdf and sdg).

Will dig into this.
