Subject: Re: SATA speed. Should be 150 or 133?
Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 23:08:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <42BB794B.6080109@rtr.ca> (raw)

True SATA drives ignore the "transfer speed",
as it really is meaningless and does not apply.
But most (all?) first-gen SATA drives are really
PATA drives with a SATA bridge built-in.
Some of those drives require that Linux set the
DMA transfer speed for them to work reliably.
Last I looked, the highest valid PATA transfer
speed was still "UDMA/133". 150 just plain
doesn't exist for PATA (and the whole concept
doesn't exist for SATA, so ..)
Cheers
