PIO MODE 0~4 reflects the HDD data transfer rate. The
higher the MODE value is, the better is the HDD data transfer
rate. But it does not mean that you can select the highest
MODE value just as you like, you first have to be sure that
your HDD supports this MODE, otherwise the hard disk will
not be able to operate normally.
