FIS-based

switching

To use this mode, the host con-

troller must have a multi-level

hardware queue and support

FIS-based SATA switching.

When the host software alter-

nates commands to the

drives, the commands are

able to overlap using the

hardware queue and restruc-

ture the data back into mean-

ingful packets. The

concurrent access and

restructuring enables the

combined speed of both

drives to use the full band-

width of the 3Gbps SATA

host bus.
