Notes:
- Auto - Is the disk automatically detected and configured by the installer
- PATA - Parallel ATA (also known as IDE)
- SATA - Serial ATA
- In Kernel - the driver is not compiled as a module
- All speeds in comments are from 'hdparm -t' results, may need '/etc/sysconfig/harddisks' tweaking to get, tested in [wiki:Self:SingleUserMode single user mode] . This depends on the chipset used, so your results may vary
