Hello,
I have a system with a HD in question and if
I should rn 'hdparm' or not on this system.
Dmegs shows:

So should I remove hdparm and install sdparm?
It's been a long time since I've seen this system.
hdparm is in the default run level, but does not
make since on this drive? (just looking for comments
and confirmation that hdparm is not needed for the
this drive....
