Not any more.  SCSI and ATA drives are supposed to do that on their
own, so if they return an error to the host, that's after they've
retried multiple times.

It may be possible to tell the drives to use different retry counts,
or to hack the drivers on the host to do retries, or hack the
application program to do retries.
