Figure 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 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 and native command queuing. Select 
[RAID] to use SATA for RAID.
