<title>Introduction to <application>hdparm</application></title>
<para>The <application>hdparm</application> package contains the
<command>hdparm</command> utility. This is useful
for controlling <acronym>ATA</acronym>/<acronym>IDE</acronym> controllers and hard drives both to increase
performance and sometimes to increase stability.</para>
<para><emphasis>WARNING!</emphasis> As well as being useful, incorrect
usage of <application>hdparm</application> can destroy your information and in rare cases, drives.
Use with caution and make sure you know what you are doing. If in
doubt, we recommend you leave the default kernel parameters
alone.</para>
