It is highly hardware-dependent. A huge amount of effort was spent
early in 2.4 getting blacklists and hardware tweaks right to work
around problems with specific chipsets with ide udma. Just because it
works for one person doesn't give you any confidence that it won't
trash data for somebody else.
