I have a drive that shuts its SATA interface down while it is doing a Security Erase, and then powers back up when it's done. When I poll the drive asking for its status during the Erase, it is "not there" but the driver takes quite a while to report back. I'd like to reduce the time that the driver spends checking for the drive. Thanks! -Russell
