UDMA question

grs_link · 10 Jun 2008 at 13:06

I 've noticed with everest that my hd is UDMA 6
but windows has is it set at UDMA 5

any ideas on how I can change that... if it is possible at all?

Check in your BIOS and make sure your chipset drives are installed. Mode 5 is faster than your drive though so it hardly matters, may actually be the drive itself setting the mode (jumper settings?).

Sata Bios and Sata Driver control this also

I guess you'll just have to settle for your drives using a transfer mode that's faster than they are but not as much faster than they are as UDMA mode 6 would be. If you can decipher that.

lol... haven't really looked in the theory behind the UDMA data transfer protocol... I guess it is getting to much after a point....

I mean catching up with cpu and chipset architecture is more than enough

anyways.... it will have to do I guess

tnx guys
