Sincerely, I haven't seen the need of manually tuning this with hdparm for ages. The kernel is pretty good these days at that, and the drive is probably already working at its max speed. Looking at the specs and age of that model, there's nothing else you can get from this drive. -- Jesús Guerrero <i92gu...@terra.es>
