from what I recall, hdparm works perfectly for PATA drives, but not so
much for SATA. Something about PATA drives looking like IDE drives and
SATA drives looking like SCSI drives (to the kernel).
notice /dev/sda
a pata would be /dev/hda
I think you're rather limited in what you can control in the sata side
of things. It's mainly in the driver, and if the driver isn't doing it
to the best of it's abilities, you're not likely to change it.
But.. I hope someone can tell me I'm wrong, because I have an SATA
drive, too :)
