Most SATA drives support NCQ which is sensible queuing and all the rest
of it. Some early ones get it badly wrong. You need a controller
interface that handles it and a device that handles it. Devices
pretending to be PATA controllers lack the brains but AHCI is a current
intel standard used by many vendors for this role and intended to replace
SFF style IDE.
