Things seem to hang a bit when I'm burning, but I haven't looked at
hdparm. (or it could be that my Linux install is on hdc, on the same
controller). That's not to say it makes coasters, but the system becomes
less than responsive, and I don't see any behavior like that using a true
SCSI burner on another machine.
