like you, I had no luck trying to tune my SATA drive. I just left
it. As far as I can tell, the SATA driver does not have the knobs
that hdparm is trying to twist.
my problem was with jack, not the hdd. but by setting the right
parameters, jack now works just fine. P4 3Ghz, 512MB ram, 80gb SATA,
Intel 945 chipset
