In general, probably yes, provided the combination of hardware and driver actually works properly _all_ the time :) AHCI is new enough that the occasional hardware erratum or driver bug might be more likely than with an older technology such as IDE or ATA. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Onboard SATA Controller of Intel DH55HC Motherboard (FreeBSD 7.3 FreeBSD 8.1)
Do you mean that both traditional IDE drives and these new SATA drives both begin with ad in FreeBSD? I am new to FreeBSD, I have just migrated from Linux. In Linux, traditional IDE drives used to begin with hd and these new SATA drives began with sd and recognized as SCSI devices. I expected this new SATA drives to begin with da in FreeBSD. Do you mean I am wrong and both IDE and SATA devices begin with ad?

Do you mean I am wrong and both IDE and SATA devices begin with ad? I believe so, yes. I have several SATA systems running FreeBSD, as well as some ATA. Only difference is the numerical start- ad0 as opposed to ad4, but I believe that is mainboard bios dependent.

Re: Onboard SATA Controller of Intel DH55HC Motherboard (FreeBSD 7.3 FreeBSD 8.1)
Oh man, I really liked your answer, thanks so much. I disabled all legacy options in the BIOS (SATA controller is in AHCI mode which I do not know what it is) and added this little ahci_load=YES thing to /boot/loader.conf and now my hard drives are recognized as: (and changed fstab and of course after a few little errors in the boot process): ada0 at ahcich0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0 ada0: WDC WD5000AADS-00S9B0 01.00A01 ATA-8 SATA 2.x device ada0: 300.000MB/s transfers (SATA 2.x, UDMA6, PIO 8192bytes) ada0: Command Queueing enabled ada0: 476940MB (976773168 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 16383C) ada1 at ahcich1 bus 0 scbus1 target 0 lun 0 ada1: WDC WD5000AADS-00S9B0 01.00A01 ATA-8 SATA 2.x device ada1: 300.000MB/s transfers (SATA 2.x, UDMA6, PIO 8192bytes) ada1: Command Queueing enabled ada1: 476940MB (976773168 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 16383C) ada2 at ahcich2 bus 0 scbus2 target 0 lun 0 ada2: WDC WD5000AADS-00S9B0 01.00A01 ATA-8 SATA 2.x device ada2: 300.000MB/s transfers (SATA 2.x, UDMA6, PIO 8192bytes) ada2: Command Queueing enabled ada2: 476940MB (976773168 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 16383C) Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ada0s1a I think it's good now. And the order of recognition of drives is the same as Linux (I mean ada0=sda ada1=sdb ada2=sdc). Is AHCI mode the best mode for SATA controller? (highest speed, utilizing all fancy features, ...)
