@ trgowtham123: Please retry with '-d sat,12'.

If the increase occurs with '-H', but not with '-i -c -A -l error -l 
selftest -l selective', then the kernel misinterprets the SCSI sense 
returning ATA output registers as an error. This was a common problem in 
the early days of SAT. Possibly fixed in Illumos only.
