Try disabling NCQ - see if you've got a drive with the 'NCQ = no
readahead' flaw.
http://linux-ata.org/faq.html#ncq

   When drive initializes, dmesg says it has NCQ (depth 0/32)
   Reading the queue_depth under /sys, shows a queuedepth of "1".

Looks like your controller (or at least the Linux driver) doesn't actually support NCQ.

2) Drive Advanced Power Management setting("-B") (write-only):
"HDIO_DRIVE_CMD failed: Input/output error"
3) Drive Acoustic ("-M"), read = " acoustic      = not supported",
write = " HDIO_DRIVE_CMD:ACOUSTIC failed: Input/output error"

Not sure about these ones.. Does anything show up in dmesg when you do this?

   Yes:

Looks like the drive reports ERR/ABRT (command aborted), meaning it likely doesn't support those commands.
