I'm not where I can submit this as a patch right now, but there are two
things that should get fixed in the above:
--Saying "Consumer-grade IDE drives" isn't quite right; "Consumer-grade
IDE and SATA drives" would correctly label the scope of the problem.
--There's a typo on the next to last line here: "can to turn off".
