SATA normally uses one link per device so the device side isn't contended unless you descend into the murky world of port multipliers. On the host side an AHCI controller offloads all the tedious operations to the controller so you don't get long slow PCI side accesses slowing up the CPU either. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
