Thank You for Your time and answer, Martin: >Huh?

I agree. That's what I want to solve. So for farther discussion let's just have as initial data: SATA HDD lacks performance on a system and we are looking for solutions. - Just to avoid the comparison of the standards. >As far as I have seen and measured, SATA drivers in the kernel operate >almost at hardware speeds. libata is a quite mature and performant >driver framewark as far as I have seen. How do measure? W/ hdparm? >That said there might be exceptions with certain boards or >controllers. So if SATA is measurably slower on your machine than PATA >it might be an idea to replace the SATA controller or the board with >something sensible. It is not the case for now - what I said was long ago and I have no more those machines. Why I said that is just to share my experience w/ S/P -ATA HDDs performance in Linux. And that's it. >Exactly.
