It's very confusing. As I have said, without controller FIS Based Switching capability it is impossible. FBS defines separate memory areas for controller, to track there state of each drive behind PM. Without it, only one drive can be active at a time, as controller will not be able to track when each drive is able to receive next command.. -- Alexander Motin
