IDE HDD Block Mode -
This allows your hard disk controller to use fast block
mode to transfer data to and from your hard disk drive (HDD).

IDE PIO Mode
-
IDE Programmed I/O Mode -
This setting relates to the speed at which the hard
drive is able to transfer data, up to
16.6MB/second for Mode 4 drives. Available
settings are
Auto
,
0
,
1
,
2
,
3
, or
4
. As with the
Type
setting,
Auto
is the preferred choice, in that
the supported PIO Mode is read directly from the
hard drive. Be sure not to use a PIO Mode higher than what the drive actually
supports. This could result in loss of data.
•
IDE UDMA (Ultra DMA) Mode
-
The chipset used for this mainboard
improves the IDE performance by implementing UltraDMA/33 Bus Mastering
IDE which can handle data transfer up to 33 Mbyte/sec. This UDMA technology
is downward compatible with existing ATA-2 IDE. So there is no upgrade
required for current hard drives and cabling.
