You're right... that's in my dmesg too, didn't notice it yet: [ 2.308019] ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [ 2.323626] ata3.00: HPA detected: current 625140335, native 625142448 [ 2.323778] ata3.00: ATA-7: Hitachi HDT725032VLA360, V54OA7EA, max UDMA/133 [ 2.323782] ata3.00: 625140335 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32), AA [ 2.324743] ata3.00: configured for UDMA/133 [ 2.324831] scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA Hitachi HDT72503 V54O PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 2.324965] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] 625140335 512-byte logical blocks: (320 GB/298 GiB) [ 2.325009] sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0
