I'd like to improve the IDE performance of my system. The IDE controllers are on a newish Intel motherboard; /proc/pci says:
IDE interface: Intel 82371AB 430TX PIIX4 (rev 1). The drives are older: Model=QUANTUM FIREBALL ST6.4A, FwRev=A0F.0800, SerialNo=15672304 Model=QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM3840A, FwRev=A6B.1T00, SerialNo=39662361 Model=ST32140A, FwRev=08.08.01, SerialNo=JBF24417 Model=ST32140A, FwRev=08.08.01, SerialNo=JB770285 Can anyone suggest more aggressive (yet safe!) options for hdparm to make things run more quickly; alternatively is there a repository of known good settings.
