Ok, thank you for your explanation. I guess that is why we had to get one particular rise from one particular manufacturer.
Yep.
I am sorry Bryan but we seem to have some misunderstanding. 3ware is on Intel 7500 motherboards.
Really? You can get an Intel E7500 chipset with 3Ware? Cool! Which models?
The VIA issue is something else entirely.
Oh, I know.
Tell that to the one who picked the board.
Oh, I've seen all sorts of such "selections" in my time.
Yes :)
Seems like the typo bug is going around. ;-> [ Okay, I admit, I hold the record -- by a wide margin ]
Nforce4 Ultra and above support command queueing according to them.
They wish. ;->
Then again, the ATA "controller" is rather "dumb" -- the NCQ is on the IDE of the end-device. It's not like SCSI where there's an intelligent, hardware host.
The AHCI is supposed to be the software/host equivalent of controlling up to 32 ATA devices with commands, etc... But I haven't seen much work well in that regard on even Windows.
Yes...where possible. Their SATA/NCQ implementation apparently does not allow them to provide specs or
something.
Really? Hmmm, I thought the libata guys were pretty happy with them. I could be wrong, as it's been 2nd hand commentary.
