fake SATA drives?
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? Clayton |

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

The page impeaches itself immediately with "connectors aren't shielded"....DDUUUHH.......PATA connectors aren't shielded and internal SCSI connectors aren't shielded. The author of this page is OFF!
