I am trying to optimize my new drive, and I attempted to set its UDMA mode
last night:
# hdparm -X70 /dev/hdd

Thank you. That's the crux. I attached an 80 wire connector to the mobo, which
is a relatively ancient FIC VA-503+. And I see the best I can do is UDMA2,
-X66
Well, its not a big deal, as the drive is fa
