And this bit that I wasn't aware of. Such a requirement in the standard
is a trainwreck indeed.
Precisely, but that's how basically anything works with SATA NCQ, only
read/write dma commands may be queued. Anything else requires an idle
drive before issue.
Very true -- but FWIW, one option being considered at T13 is having a
queue-able TRIM.
