i can't, however i strongly suggest that you set the parameters
of the drive(s) carefully. especially the synchronous mode
and cache/read-ahead enable, which are often disabled by default,
make for a much better performance.

i think the one with the parameter stuff is for the more
experienced people, it's somewhat scary to poke around in
your drives eeprom :-)
