    Can Thunderbolt pass ATA commands to attached HDDs?

    Hi, Does anyone know if a SATA drive connected via an eSATA adapter to a Thunderbolt port can successfully receive and act upon ATA commands? So: SATA -> eSATA -> Thunderbolt -> MacBook Pro. I'm primarily thinking of using the Sanitize Device command.
