SATA frames both on Transmitter and Receiver sides are split

The frames that are split get assembled together at the Transport level of
decoding/display. For example:

In the example above, although SATA frames both on Transmitter and Receiver
sides are split, they are assembled together in the Transport Layer transaction.
The payload, that was split into 6564 and 1632 bytes is assembled together in
one 8192 bytes buffer.

Compact View

Some traces contain field headers which repeat from line-to-line (frame-to-frame)
even if the content of the fields are changing. The repeated display of the same
header information can occupy space on the screen that would be more useful if
presented in a tabular form.

The compact view provides a means of condensing repeating header information
into one line of headers, with the data arranged below in "spreadsheet" fashion.
Compact view automatically condenses repeating headers, but when the next
header that is different appears it will be shown as a new header.

Compact view can be selected in any of the following ways:

From the View Menu, select Compact.

Use the Ctrl-Q keyboard shortcut.

With the mouse pointer positoned over the display area, right-click the mouse
and select "Compact" for the menu that displays.

To change back, repeat either the menu selection or the keyboard shortcut.

The following screens illustrate the use of compact view mode. In the screen below
(shown in normal view), the same header information repeats for each frame:
