Woops, forgot hdparm settings and info:

/dev/hda:
 multcount    =  0 (off)

 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    = 256 (on)
 geometry     = 65535/16/63, sectors = 117210240, start = 0

eruin at ubuntu:~$ sudo hdparm -I /dev/hda
