While it seems to be "disk specific," you may notice that you can no longer 
read from your disk after you try to do so initially, or you may find that 
your system locks up entirely.  In order to prevent this, pass the following 
command before you try any hdparm stuff.  I also would not recomend booting 
from your Seagate disk just yet.

echo max_kb_per_request:15 > /proc/ide/hde/settings

Of course, it is entirely possible that you will not experience any of the 
said problems prior to passing the above command.  In thus a case then 
consider yourself lucky and you, obviously, don't need ot pass the said 
command.
