IDE HDD Block Mode

This field allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to transfer data to and from your hard disk drive.

IDE DMA Transfer Access

This field, by default, is enabled

OnChip Secondary PCI IDE

This field, by default, is enabled

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO

These fields allow your system hard disk controller to work faster. Rather than have the BIOS issue a series of commands that transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO (Programmed Input/Output) allows the BIOS to communicate with the controller and CPU directly.

The system supports five modes, numbered from 0 (default) to 4, which primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the best available mode.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA

These fields allow your system to improve disk I/O throughput to 33Mb/sec with the Ultra DMA/33 feature. The options are Auto and Disabled.

SATA Mode

The setting choices for the SATA 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 with native command queuing & native hot plug. Select [RAID] to use SATA as RAID function. RAID function is supported on the board if it uses ICH9R, but this is optional.
