But as I understand my problem, all retries and delays are made inside
linux kernel, not inside hardware...

My thought was that if speed is more important than reliability in
your case, then you could buy a "Enterprise" version hard drive and
eliminate the time it takes the drive to internally do retries.
ie. The concept for which Enterprise drives exist is raid, but that
does not mean you have to use them that way.
