3.7: On-Chip IDE Device
3.6.1 IDE HDD Block Mode
If
your IDE hard drive supports block mode select Enabled
for
automatic detection of
the
optimal number of block read/writes per
sector
the drive can support.
3.6.2 IDE DMA Transfer Access
Use this
field
to enable
or disable IDE
DMA transfer access.
3.6.3 On-Chip Primary / Secondary IDE Device
IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode
(Auto). The
channel
has both
a master and a
slave, making
four IDE devices possible.
Because two IDE devices
may have a different
Mode timing (0, 1,
2,
3, 4), it is necessary for
these
to be independent. The default setting
“Auto” will allow
auto detection to
ensure optimal
performance.
3.6.4 SATA Mode
The
setting choices for the SAT A
Mode are IDE,
RAID and
AHCI
Mode. Select
[IDE]
if you
want to have
SATA function as
IDE. Select
[AHCI] for Advanced Host
Controller
Interface (AHCI)
feature, with
improved SATA
performance and native command
queuing.
Select
[RAID] to use SATA for
RAID.
