I wouldn't say the driver has a problem with that specific drive.
More that it might have a problem with a mixed SATA2/SATA3 setup.

I have a 9-STABLE box with 24x WDC WD2002FAEX SATA3 (6 Gbps) drives
attached to 3 SuperMicro AOC-USAS2-8Li controllers, using the new
mps(4) driver without any issues.  Was actually amazed yesterday when
I say it doing writes just shy of 500 MBps to the ZFS pool, via zfs
send/recv from another box.

No issues with excessive interrupts.  Using 10.0 firmware on the controllers.
