:meh.. found this via google: : :http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/storage-accessories,1787-2.html : :The article claims it's AHCI compliant.. though the addonics web page :doesn't specifically says so from a cursory glance here: : :http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/extpm.asp : :and the other form factors. :http://www.addonics.com/products/pm/ : : -Phil. I think they mis-spoke. They are SATA-compliant and Port Multiplier compliant, and they use FIS-based packets, so they pretty much do away with all the ATA baggage, but they don't use the AHCI device interface so they won't probe as an AHCI driver. I can see why they do it that way, though. It looks like they hide most of the complexity behind the chipset, which is nice. AHCI exposes a lot of that complexity. It looks like a reasonable chipset. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon_at_backplane.com>Received on Mon Jun 15 2009 - 21:37:27 UTC
