3.6.1IDE HDD Block Mode

If your IDE hard drive supports block mode, select Enabled to automatically detect the optimal number of block read/writes per sector that the drive can support.

3.6.2IDE DMA Transfer Access

Use this field to enable or disable IDE DMA transfer access.

3.6.3IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode (Auto)

Each IDE channel has both a master and a slave, making four IDE devices possible. Because two IDE devices may have a different Mode timings (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), it is nec- essary for these to be independent. The default setting "Auto" will allow auto detec- tion to ensure optimal performance.

3.6.4SATA Mode

The SATA modes are IDE, RAID and AHCI Mode. Select [IDE] if you want to have SATA function as IDE. Select [AHCI] to enable the Advanced Host Controller Inter- face (AHCI) feature, with improved SATA performance and native command queuing.
