I have particular fast, simple and cheap controller(s) (MV88SX6081
8-port SATA II PCI-X) with a bunch of disks w/o sw/hw raid.
I need to return an error to application ASAP if media error detected.

Artem,
I'm not sure what your goal is but you might find it interesting that
"Enterprise" versions of some of the drives have fast fail logic built
into them. ie. They don't internally retry on medium errors.
As I understand it, the concept is if you have a raid setup, you don't
want to waste time retrying a read. It is better to fail the read
ASAP and get the data from another source.
