Thank you for your answer. I am also confused and couldn't think of any
meaningful reason. This is why I allowed myself to bother you.

I did not change anything - wiring or such. The server has 12 disk bays on
the front. Old disks were pulled out and new disks were inserted into the
bays.

You (probably much knowable in this matters than me) also assume negotiation
should result in 3.0Gb/s. And if I understand correctly it should be not a
driver issue.

The only difference I could find out for now is that Rev3.3 introduced PWDIS
on Pin 3. To check if the cables provide wiring on P3 I should disassemble
the server, but I can do this in September :/ and it is a lot of effort.

I am attaching a portion of the log and dmesg with the relevant information.
I see that ASPM is disabled by default (could it be related to P3?).

Thank you all in advance
BR
