      @ljgriz Note that SATA runs out of juice at 6gbps......

      So if you run SATA drives, then it wont go higher.

      I actually have two here from different vendors I tried.
      One's coded for Cisco and the other's coded for Intel.

      This directive was added to the boot loader config file:
      hw.ix.unsupported_sfp="1"

      After rebooting, when I slide either SFP module into the SFP+ cage, I get an unsupported module error from the kernel.

      ix0: Unsupported SFP+ module type was detected.

      I remember seeing on the Supermicro documentation that these SFP+ ports are not multimode and only support SFP+ modules.
