HARD DISK BLOCK MODE
This function enhances disk performance depending on the hard disk
in use. If you set this parameter to
Auto
, the BIOS utility automatically
detects if the installed hard disk drive supports the Block Mode
function. If supported, it allows data transfer in block (multiple sectors)
at a rate of 256 bytes per cycle. To disregard the feature, change the
setting to
Disabled.
ADVANCED PIO MODE
When set to
Auto
, the BIOS utility automatically detects if the installed
hard disk supports the function. If supported, it allows for faster data
recovery and read/write timing that reduces hard disk activity time.
This results to better hard disk performance. To disregard the feature,
change the setting to
Disabled.
HARD DISK 32-BIT ACCESS
Enabling this parameter improves system performance by allowing
the use of the 32-bit hard disk access. This enhanced IDE feature
works only under DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95, and Novell
NetWare. If your software or hard disk does not support this function,
set this parameter to
Disabled
.
DMA TRANSFER MODE
The Ultra DMA and Multi-DMA modes enhances hard disk
performance by increasing the transfer rate. However, besides
enabling these features in the BIOS Setup, both Ultra DMA and Multi-
DMA modes require the DMA driver to be loaded. By setting this
parameter to
Auto
, BIOS automatically sets the appropriate DMA
mode for your hard disk.
