Hdparm is not as good as it could be on reporting/setting SATA
drives. It primarily a tool for PATA drives, with some use with SCSI
and SATA drives. There is a sdparm program, but it is not that easy
a program to use. That being said, in most cases you will find that
the BIOS has already set the transfer mode to the fastest supported.
You should be careful about changing the setting with SATA drives
unless you are sure you know what you are doing. (You should also be
careful about what you change on PATA drives.)
