PERC 6/iR detecting 6Gb/s drive as 1.5Gb/s
I've connected two Seagate Barracuda ST32000641AS 2TB drives to the PERC 6/iR controller in my Precision T7400. The drives support 6Gb/s and the controller supports 3Gb/s. The problem is that the controller detects the drives at 1.5Gb/s. Is there anything I can do to operate these drives at 3Gb/s?

Check to make sure there is no strap on the drive that forces it to the 1.5 GB mode. Many drives have these so that they work properly with some of the older controllers.

In that case, you might try posting your question in the Storage Forum. Most of the members who deal with server class storage hang out over there.

Good suggestion, but in my case the drives are configured for "Normal operation" per this diagram from Seagate:
