I use it because:

1. Man 4 ata says it will work with my HDD.
2. It really worked after ata(4) bug was fixed shortly after 4.5-RELEASE.
   Yes, it did not work with 4.5-PRERELEASE due to ata(4) famous bug.

Now it work fine even with presence of massive I/O activity when
this activity does not continue for very long time (half an hour and more)
uninterruptedly.

It panices reproducibly and crashdumps are pretty same.
