The bus lanes actually get set correctly under Mac OS X 10.5.6 but they are not reported correctly in the Expansion Slot Utility. The actual settings can be verified by booting under another version of Mac OS X. Sonnet has filed a bug report with Apple.

788 Can I use an ATTO R680 with the R800RAID or D800RAID?Jun-24-14
Can I use an ATTO R680 with the R800RAID or D800RAID? The ATTO R380 that come with these storage units does not have full OS X 10.9 support and I want to migrate to Mavericks.

Background:
The D800RAID and R800RAID were qualified with the ATTO R380 RAID controller card. The R380 is a 3Gb SAS card will link to modern 6Gb hard drives at 3Gb. The R680 would link at 6Gb, however, these chassis were never qualified at 6Gb, and migrating to an R680 means one must force the R680-to-hard drive link to 3Gb for reliable operation. Because SATA hard drives are not capable of saturating a 3Gb link, the performance impact is minimal.

After installing the R680, and before formatting the RAID array, force the link to 3Gb...
Run Terminal, and type: sudo ./atsasnvr -k 3
A reboot is necessary for the change to take effect.

You can now use the R680 with the D800RAID or R800RAID.
