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.
Yeah. And I acknowledge that even though the SF did not admit to some physical damage, or danced around the subject, that does not mean SF does not damage drives. I've never held a rock solid belief that SF did not damage drives, I just have never found really good 3rd party, unbiased tests.
