I did an "hdparm -I" in both Fedora and Knoppix (with 2.4) and I got exactly the same values in both cases: /dev/hda: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: WDC WD800JB-00CRA1 Serial Number: WD-WMA8E3457413 Firmware Revision: 17.07W17 Standards: Supported: 5 4 3 2 Likely used: 6 Configuration: Logical max current cylinders 16383 16383 heads 16 16 sectors/track 63 63 -- CHS current addressable sectors: 16514064 LBA user addressable sectors: 156301488 device size with M = 1024*1024: 76319 MBytes device size with M = 1000*1000: 80026 MBytes (80 GB) Capabilities: LBA, IORDY(can be disabled) bytes avail on r/w long: 40 Queue depth: 1 Standby timer values: spec'd by Standard, with device specific minimum R/W multiple sector transfer: Max = 16 Current = 16 Recommended acoustic management value: 128, current value: 254 DMA: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5 Cycle time: min=120ns recommended=120ns PIO: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 Cycle time: no flow control=120ns IORDY flow control=120ns Commands/features: Enabled Supported: * READ BUFFER cmd * WRITE BUFFER cmd * Host Protected Area feature set * Look-ahead * Write cache * Power Management feature set Security Mode feature set * SMART feature set * Device Configuration Overlay feature set Automatic Acoustic Management feature set SET MAX security extension * DOWNLOAD MICROCODE cmd * SMART self-test * SMART error logging Security: supported not enabled not locked frozen not expired: security count not supported: enhanced erase HW reset results: CBLID- above Vih Device num = 0 determined by CSEL Checksum: correct /dev/hdb: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: WDC WD1800BB-00DAX0 Serial Number: JTT0016777 Firmware Revision: 50.13P50 Standards: Supported: 6 5 4 3 Likely used: 6 Configuration: Logical max current cylinders 16383 65535 heads 16 1 sectors/track 63 63 -- CHS current addressable sectors: 4128705 LBA user addressable sectors: 268435455 LBA48 user addressable sectors: 351651888 device size with M = 1024*1024: 171705 MBytes device size with M = 1000*1000: 180045 MBytes (180 GB) Capabilities: LBA, IORDY(can be disabled) bytes avail on r/w long: 98 Queue depth: 1 Standby timer values: spec'd by Standard, with device specific minimum R/W multiple sector transfer: Max = 16 Current = 16 Recommended acoustic management value: 128, current value: 254 DMA: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5 Cycle time: min=120ns recommended=120ns PIO: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 Cycle time: no flow control=120ns IORDY flow control=120ns Commands/features: Enabled Supported: * READ BUFFER cmd * WRITE BUFFER cmd * Host Protected Area feature set * Look-ahead * Write cache * Power Management feature set Security Mode feature set * SMART feature set * Device Configuration Overlay feature set * 48-bit Address feature set Automatic Acoustic Management feature set SET MAX security extension * DOWNLOAD MICROCODE cmd * SMART self-test * SMART error logging Security: supported not enabled not locked frozen not expired: security count not supported: enhanced erase HW reset results: CBLID- above Vih Device num = 1 determined by CSEL Checksum: correct /dev/hdd: ATAPI CD-ROM, with removable media Model Number: FX54++W Serial Number: Firmware Revision: U01H Standards: Used: ATAPI for CD-ROMs, SFF-8020i, r2.5 Supported: CD-ROM ATAPI-2 Configuration: DRQ response: 50us.
