Description-en: tune hard disk parameters for high performance
Get/set device parameters for Linux SATA/IDE drives.
Provides a command line interface to various kernel interfaces supported by
the Linux SATA/PATA/SAS "libata" subsystem and the older IDE driver subsystem.
Many newer (2008 and later) USB drive enclosures now also support "SAT"
(SCSI-ATA Command Translation) and therefore may also work with hdparm.
