Hi everyone, I am interested in using the Middleton unofficial BIOS because=
 I=20
have a Western Digital WD3200BEKT 7200 RPM hard-disk which supports SATA-2.

What about the risk of using this particular unofficial BIOS?

Is this disk actually even saturating the link with the current SATA-1 spee=
d=20
cap?

Thanks for your comments.
