I was talking to a storage vendor today, and he mentioned that most
SATA drives on the market are really IDE drives with a SATA bridge,
only 1 or 2 are true SATAs...

This seems to mean the "fake" SATA drives will not have the SATA
features, such as native cmd queueing. Which ones are the real SATA
drives? Anyone have a list?

Are there any commercially released controllers and OS drivers that
support SATA command queuing yet?
