Yes connectors and even hba are afaik the same (into LASI), the diff stand in this Uturn/U2 bus converter/adapter (ioscan 
name it bc, mstm ba?) on your K model (as on my D) and not on B180L+.

Well my test case is totaly different as far as I just tested se-scsi disk.
And I don't own any PLEXTOR, so only GMSoft test on its b180 could confirm us if it's same kind of pb.

The only thing of what I still sure is that the pb occure to me when I tried to stress (high io rate) this driver.
