If you have a distro like Ubunto that uses libata as its IDE driver, then configuration with hdparm is unnecessary. Also, the linux kernel's SATA driver was built from the ground up to have performance options in hardware managed automatically, therefore you cannot use sdparm to tune for more performance! A really poor article. This article needs amending.
