Description
Type of device, such as hard disk drive.
Manufacturer of the device.
The size of the device.
LBA (Logical Block Addressing) is a method of addressing data on a disk drive. In LBA
mode, the maximum drive capacity is 137 GB. For drive capacities over 137 GB, your
AMIBIOS must be equipped with 48-bit LBA mode addressing. If not, contact your
motherboard manufacturer or install an ATA/133 IDE controller card that supports 48-bit
LBA mode.
Block mode boosts IDE drive performance by increasing the amount of data transferred.
Only 512 bytes of data can be transferred per interrupt if block mode is not used. Block
mode allows transfers of up to 64 KB per interrupt.
IDE PIO mode programs timing cycles between the IDE drive and the programmable IDE
controller. As the PIO mode increases, the cycle time decreases.
This indicates the highest Asynchronous DMA Mode that is supported.
This indicates the highest Synchronous DMA Mode that is supported.
Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology protocol used by IDE drives of some
manufacturers to predict drive failures.
