I thought 0x1095/0x3726 was a Silicon Image part. Can you confirm this?
If it is, this sounds like a broken implementation to me. Here is what
the Silicon Image 3726 Data Sheet says in the introduction:
Silicon Image’s SiI3726 is 1-to-5 SATA Port Multiplier designed to
provide a high performance link between a single SATA host port and 5
SATA device ports.
So I don't know where the 6th device is getting connected. Some
explanation/data sheet from the HW vendor would be helpful at this
point.

Both of these drives work behind Sil3726. (First hand experience).
