    Is it definite that i loose the hotswap capability? As reading the ATA Wiki, it says the following for AHCI - apparently the newer NVidia chipsets are AHCI: Any ideas??? Not that i think hot-swap would be a massive bonus... only means you've got to shutdown to replace a drive... Cheers...

    Wes: cool, cheers. the big downside i see with the Atoms is the fact you've got to worry about a sata raid card... much rather have plug n play... ;)
