IDE HDD
: The ICH6 IDE controller features one set of interface signals that can be enabled, tri-stated or driven
low.
The IDE Interfaces of the ICH6 can Support Several Types of Data Transfers:
•
Programmed I/O (PIO): processor is in control of the data transfer.
•
8237 style DMA: DMA protocol that resembles the DMA on the ISA bus, although it does not use the 8237
in the ICH6. This protocol off loads the processor from moving data. This allows higher transfer rate of up to
16MB/s.
•
Ultra ATA/33/66/100: DMA protocol that redefines signals on the IDE cable to allow both host and target
throttling of data and transfer rates of up to 33/66/100 MB/s.
