I've installed the proper drivers and now the device manager correctly
lists my SATA controllers as 'nvidia nfroce 4 serial ATA controller'
(albeit they are still categorized under the 'IDE ATA/ATAPI
controllers'-branch). And when requesting the properties of the SATA
controller I can see my hard disc listed as one of the devices
connected with a transfer mode that says  'Serial ATA Generation 1 -
1.5G'.

Enumerating my SATA hard disc and getting the bustype (either with
STORAGE_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR or STORAGE_ADAPTER_DESCRIPTOR) still reports
only ATA (STORAGE_BUS_TYPE=3) and not SATA (STORAGE_BUS_TYPE=10).

DEVICE01::DevicePath  =
\\?\ide#diskst3250823as_____________________________3.01____#2020202020202020202020204e3330444b334d56#{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}
DEVICE01::SptiHandle  = 0x0100
DEVICE01::BusType     = ATA (3)

I'm not actually looking to benefit from any of the features that SATA
has to offer. I'm just looking to display a correct bus type when my
application lists all the devices.

Perhaps I'm still missing something but I expected it to report a SATA
bus type in this configuration.

Thanks
