Good idea.
I'm using it on two machines here. One has a (known) broken hard disk,
but I don't care whether it drops a few sectors each day. ATA is keeping
it more or less alive.
The other one is my laptop, and that one seems to be a lot faster and
the system load is down (PIIX4 chipset). Except that it always gives me
a timeout at boot. This started about 3 weeks ago I think, but as the
drive works fine for the rest, I didn't bother to check into it more
deeply.
