I am trying to optimize my new drive, and I attempted to set its UDMA mode 
last night:

# hdparm -X70 /dev/hdd

/dev/hdd:
 setting xfermode to 70 (UltraDMA mode6)
 HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setxfermode) failed: Input/output error

The drive is ATA 133 and I believe UDMA mode6, consequently. Any ideas on this 
I/O error?

Here's the rest of the info that the drive dumps:
# hdparm -i /dev/hdd
