Although order and > such doesn't matter too much, that will cause a slow down. This is the out-of-the-box configuration of a brand-new vaio laptop. But it's not "connected to the secondary slave" as you say. Rather, it's connected as a primary master to the second (S)ATA controller, which shouldn't be a problem. The real problem here is that this second controller isn't being recongnized for what it is, namely a '82801FBM ICH6M SATA Controller'. The ata driver therefore falls back to "GENERIC ATA controller". Hence the UDMA33. atapci0: port 0x1880-0x188f,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 at device 31.1 on pci0 atapci1: port 0x18a0-0x18af,0x1894-0x1897,0x18b0-0x18b7,0x18b8-0x18bb,0x18c0-0x18c7 irq 18 at device 31.2 on pci0 atapci0@pci0:31:1: class=0x01018a card=0x81b9104d chip=0x266f8086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801FB ICH6 Ultra ATA Storage Controller' class = mass storage subclass = ATA atapci1@pci0:31:2: class=0x01018f card=0x81ba104d chip=0x26538086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801FBM ICH6M SATA Controller' class = mass storage subclass = ATA Ruben
