like you, I had no luck trying to tune my SATA drive.  I just left 
it.   As far as I can tell, the SATA driver does not have the knobs 
that hdparm is trying to twist.

my problem was with jack, not the hdd.   but by setting the right 
parameters, jack now works just fine.  P4 3Ghz, 512MB ram, 80gb SATA, 
Intel 945 chipset
