In Reply to:	[gentoo-user] Problem with hdparm and SATA-controller by Marc Blumentritt

1	from what I recall, hdparm works perfectly for PATA drives, but not so
2	much for SATA. Something about PATA drives looking like IDE drives and
3	SATA drives looking like SCSI drives (to the kernel).

5	notice /dev/sda
6
7	a pata would be /dev/hda

9	I think you're rather limited in what you can control in the sata side
10	of things. It's mainly in the driver, and if the driver isn't doing it
11	to the best of it's abilities, you're not likely to change it.

13	But.. I hope someone can tell me I'm wrong, because I have an SATA
14	drive, too :)
