Interesting.  The man page for hdparm does warn about the -X## 
parameter.  It suggests that you run hdparm -i to find out what your 
drive supports before chosing a -X setting.  Although this is an ATA100 
drive, connected to an ATA100 card, the hdparm -i test indicated 
UltraDMA Mode 2 support.

So, can I use both -X66 & -X69?  Assuming the answer is no, which will 
provide a greater benefit?
