How to disable read prefetch for an SSD drive


I'm about to buy an Intel X25-M 80Gb SSD drive and I'm a little bit worried about not being able to disable read prefetch for that drive (which, for what I've read, causes some kind of mini freezing).

I'd like to leave the prefetching on for the other mechanical drives, but not for this one. Besides, I think it's useless to prefetch data from an SSD drive being its latency so low and reading speeds so high.
