Got it.  Went into the LSI utility and checked and the drives had been choked.  Unchoked them and voila!

Looks like one of your SCSI channels is only running on 20mb/sec speed.  I would replace your SCSI cable to see if that makes a difference.  Also, there are BIOS settings in the HP SCSI card that will set maximum SCSI speed, maybe one channel has been set to a lower (non-LVD) speed.

Having trouble digitizing HD footage.  Getting a Bob error.  Ran the Avid storage manager to text the drives and they tested fine.  However, if I read the console correctly, the first six drives are set to a lower speed.  Could someone tell me if I?m reading this right, and how do I fix it? 

Here is the console readout from ASM.:  I have highlighted the offending data.
