FWIW, the only time I've seen this happen is when there's a jumper
limiting the capability.  You should have **removed** the OPT1 jumper,
and left any other jumpers alone.

If you're absolutely sure the jumper is removed, I'll purchase one of
these drives and test it on an ICH7 (Supermicro PDSMi+) to confirm your
findings.
