Yes, that is correct.
However, this problem is unrelated to the problem of old versions of SF
switching devices in to 16bit PIO mode. That can cause physical damage
to a small number of optical drives and causes a reduction in speed of all
IDE connected components.
That problem is not confirmed by SF.
Neither are the enforced reboots, despite the SF induced reboot being reproducible.
