I don't believe that. Command timeouts never happen on healthy systems,
unless we have a driver bug. Okay, so I can imagine a pathological case
of a full queue (NCQ) with all 32 commands taking longer than usual due
to ECC retries in the firmware..

But in real life, on a desktop, timeouts never happen as a normal event.

I wonder what's *really* wrong here?

Cheers
