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).
Enabled
or
Disabled
.
Enabled
is the default.
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 enter in a PIO Mode Setting that is
higher than what the drive actually supports. This will
probably result in loss of data.

cycle timing is shown in the following table:
