Hi! In a discussion with a friend the question whether SATA support full duplex has come up. While there is some info on the web that explains that SATA does not support it, unlike SAS, the firend claims that SATA does not support full-duplex in the sense "the same line can transfer data in both directions", but it does support sending data over the transmit pair and receiving over the receive pair at the same time. An example is : in NCQ setup, the drive is sending data as a response to READ command and during that the host send another queued command to the same drive. Is this possible and supported by SATA ? (I'm interested in SATA support as a standard, not as much about current Linux support) Regards, David -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
