On the good machine:
[ 30.728849] ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x000000000001e400 ctl 0x000000000001e082 bmdma 0x000000000001d880 irq 23
[ 30.890918] ata1.00: ATA-7: WDC WD740ADFD-00NLR1, 20.07P20, max UDMA/133
[ 30.890966] ata1.00: 145226112 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32)
[ 30.900957] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133
Maybe since AHCI isn't enabled in the BIOS on the good machine,
we aren't doing NCQ?

I tried a port and cable swap on the bad machine. The good machine
had a new cable, so it still could be the cable.
