From Wikipedia:

Quote:
The Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is a technical standard defined by Intel that specifies the operation of Serial ATA (SATA) host bus adapters in a non-implementation-specific manner.
It's a hard-disk controller standard which a huge variety of things use. Linux can handle them all with the same driver.

Problem with comp built for Linux..

Using SSD in FreeBSD

Now that SSD drives are becoming mainstream, I had a few questions on installing a SSD drive in a FreeBSD environment.

RAID 0 for SSD

Nowadays the fastest SSDs achieve read-speeds of between 1500 MB/s to 1900 MB/s. Let's say that two such SSDs in RAID 0 achieve roughly double the throughput, ie 3000 MB/s. That is only half an order of magnitude removed from RAM ((10)^(1/2) * 3000 = 10.000), very broadly speaking. So for the... (6 Replies)

ARTSATA(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						ARTSATA(4)

NAME
artsata -- Intel i31244 Serial ATA disk controller driver SYNOPSIS
artsata* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000 options PCIIDE_I31244_DISABLEDMA DESCRIPTION
The artsata driver supports the Intel i31244 Serial ATA and controllers, and provides the interface with the hardware for the ata(4) driver. The 0x0002 flag forces the artsata driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be enabled. This can be used as a debug- ging aid, or to work around problems where the SATA controller is wired up to the system incorrectly. SEE ALSO
ata(4), atapi(4), intro(4), pci(4), pciide(4), wd(4), wdc(4) BUGS
Early samples of the Intel i31244 Serial ATA controller revision 0 had a bug affecting DMA data transfers. Full production samples have been fixed, but have the same revision number. The PCIIDE_I31244_DISABLEDMA option can be used to disable DMA on the buggy revisions. BSD
