Is there a way to detect RAID drives with this kind of timing, or does
someone need to take a baseball bat into the standards committee meeting
and add an identify field that gives command and "long command" timeouts
in seconds ?
We figure it out by testing lots & lots of drives ;-)
If we can detect the "fast fail" drives (initially by say ident string
components) lets do it and the people who care can buy the right product
for the job.
I don't think that there is any kind of feature field...
