Block Mode | Enhances disk performance depending on |
| the hard disk in use. |
| If you set this parameter to Auto, BIOS |
| setup automatically detects if the |
| installed hard disk drive supports the |
| Block Mode function. If supported, it |
| allows data transfer in blocks (multiple |
| sectors) at a rate of 256 bytes per cycle. |
| If you set this parameter to Disabled, data |
| transfer from and to the device occurs |
| one sector at a time. |

PIO Mode | When set to Auto, BIOS setup |
| 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 in better hard |
| disk performance. Mode 0 to 4 provide |
| successive increases in performance. |
