Mark,
Try editing your /etc/conf.d/hdparm file and customizing for the sata drive.
I have something like:
# disc0_args=-d1 -X66
# disc1_args-d1
# cdrom0_args=-d1
# Or, you can set hdparm options for ALL drives using all_args..
# eg.
# this mimics the behavior of the current script
all_args=-d1
David,
Thanks. I'm actually pretty familiar with hdparm itself. My lack of
boldness was whether to push the envelope on this new SATA drive. Are
you running SATA?
I see some threads on the web where people are getting 120MB/S from
SATA, which is exciting. I just haven't pulled the trigger
