Thanks.  I'll use that data to update/validate future versions of hdparm.
At UDMA66, it *should* be capable of the 40MByte/sec realm of readback perf,
assuming the card itself is really that fast.

I don't know too much about the specifics, though, but perhaps the
card is only capable of full speed in PIO6, which requires special cabling
and is currently unsupported in libata (?).

Another factor, is that hdparm performs discrete, non-overlapping,
reads of 1MByte chunks for its timing test.  Some drives cannot achieve
full performance with such (relatively) large gaps between IO's.

Also, just for fun, you could try "hdparm --direct -t /dev/sdb"

Cheers
