I already have the SystemRescueCD on my usb stick and I'd use that for hdparm. I can't be arsed to go through the whole TinyXP or formatting process. Of couse, I could make partimages etc, it's just that.. you know.. this is too much for me as I'll use an mtron ZIF SSD later anyway. I've already spent 50 EUR, that's 63US$, on equipment I have no use for.

I can understand the caution about the 3.5" drive. Notice with the ZIF to 3.5" adapter there is a separate Molex to run the 3.5" drive off? There is no need to connect to that, rather, could power the 3.5" drive from an independent power source, avoiding high current drain from the 2510p

I think you misunderstood. I bought the adapter that I posted a picture of, the direct zif-to-sata adapter. That one doesn't have an additional molex connector but a normal sata connector. So I can't put some extra power source there.
