4.11 Integrated Peripherals
The IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard drives. These drives have a master/slave relationship that is determined by the cabling configuration used to attach them to the controller. Your system supports two IDE
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than having the BIOS issue a series of commands to affect the transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by them. This is much simpler and more efficient (also faster).

This allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to transfer data to and from your hard disk drive (HDD).
Enabled IDE controller uses block mode
Disabled IDE controller uses standard mode
