Serial ATA (SATA) on Linux

The Linux Mafia has put out a report on running serial ATA (SATA) on Linux. If you’re running serial ata (SATA) on Linux or trying to run SATA on Linux, then you should check this page out.

Good excerpt from the page:

There is no such thing as a distribution or its installer (generically) “having SATA support” (or not). Please send anyone speaking in such terms to this page. (Some SATA chipsets have been supported since practically forever, as their programming interfaces are unchanged from PATA predecessors. Others are brand-new and require new drivers from scratch.)
