A pair of Maxtor 6Y160M0 (don't have the exact revision and probe
message at hand).
I also tried a Seagate ( <ST3120024A/3.31> ATA/ATAPI rev 6 ) with a
PATA/SATA dongle. The dongle has sunlink chip - which I think is same as
Sil3611.
The Seagate was a complete dead duck under -CURRENT - boot hanging with
the "missing interrupt" messages. The Maxtors seemed a bit happier but
still got the same spurious failure messages during and after boot. I
never tried to build a filesystem on them. I can confirm that all of the
above devices were happy under Windows (copied about 20 gigs each way
for a test) so I guess it is not *completely* broken hardware, although
it may fall short of the spec that the BSD drivers expect.
I never tried legacy mode with the two SATA channels enabled so I can't
comment on that.
