3.6.1 IDE HDD Block Mode
If your IDE hard drive supports block mode, select Enabled to automatically detect
the optimal number of block read/writes per sector that 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 IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode (Auto)
Each IDE channel has both a master and a slave, making four IDE devices possible.
Because two IDE devices may have a different Mode timings (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), it is nec-
essary for these to be independent. The default setting "Auto" will allow auto detec-
tion to ensure optimal performance.
3.6.4 SATA Mode
The SATA modes are IDE, RAID and AHCI Mode. Select [IDE] if you want to have
SATA function as IDE. Select [AHCI] to enable the Advanced Host Controller Inter-
face (AHCI) feature, with improved SATA performance and native command queuing.
