hdparm

[Martin Oldfield <m@mail.tc>]

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.

Cheers,
