I have another Sata 3 drive on the second Sata 3 port, that FreeBSD

ada1: Serial Number W1F55VT9
ada1: 600.000MB/s transfers (SATA 3.x, UDMA6, PIO 8192bytes)
ada1: Command Queueing enabled
ada1: 2861588MB (5860533168 512 byte sectors)
ada1: quirks=0x1<4K>

note the "quirks" - is that good, or bad?


Forgot to mention (and then the power went off) - the quirks mechanism is to allow work-arounds for flawed implementations of protocols from specific devices. For example, if a particular drive always returns the same serial number to satisfy the protocol, it's a quirk and the driver won't make use of the query serial number command for that type of drive.
