 4 BIOS setup

70

Block Mode

Enhances disk performance depending on 
the hard disk in use.  

If you set this parameter to Auto, BIOS 
setup automatically detects if the 
installed hard disk drive supports the 
Block Mode function.  If supported, it 
allows data transfer in blocks (multiple 
sectors) at a rate of 256 bytes per cycle.

If you set this parameter to Disabled, data 
transfer from and to the device occurs 
one sector at a time.

Disabled 

PIO Mode 

When set to Auto, BIOS setup  

 

automatically detects if the installed hard 
disk supports the function.  If supported, 
it allows for faster data recovery and 
read/write timing that reduces hard disk 

 

activity time.  This results in better hard 
disk performance.  Mode 0 to 4 provide 
successive increase of performance.
