Over time, SATA disks have made great progress. For example, this disk from Western Digital:

My question is, does anyone have any experience with these disks when writing sustained amounts of data?
I am guessing there is some interaction between the disk, the controller, and the Linux device driver in terms of features available.
Roger, I use a few SATA servers but I don't have any experience with that disk and neither is my application critical over write rates. You might want to explore the information on this wiki: https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page You might also get good advice if you post your question on the linux-ide mailing list.
