still 11MB/s (and one of the 4 generic data movers present in the SoC

    If you measure it with something like 'hdparm -t', the real speed figures
in the PIO modes would disappoint you. It's usually more like 3 MB/s even in
PIO4...

  Well, various factors contribute to actual figures possible to achieve,
the physical medium transfer speed being an important one.

Yes, of course. Yet even with MWDMA2 (same wire speed as PIO4) hdparm shows about an order of magnitude higher speeds, IIRC. With the UltraDMA modes it becomes even higher...

That 11MB/s
throughput is the maximum you can ever get on the wire in PIO 3, assuming
data is already available to transfer and IORDY is asserted right away
every cycle.

   Yes, I figured.
