Really? You can get an Intel E7500 chipset with 3Ware?
Cool! Which models?

They wish. ;->
Then again, the ATA "controller" is rather "dumb" -- the NCQ
is on the IDE of the end-device. It's not like SCSI where
there's an intelligent, hardware host.
The AHCI is supposed to be the software/host equivalent of
controlling up to 32 ATA devices with commands, etc... But I
haven't seen much work well in that regard on even Windows.

with them. I could be wrong, as it's been 2nd hand
commentary.
