Description
When set to Auto, the BIOS utility
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. To disregard this
feature, change the setting to
Disabled.
The Ultra DMA and Multi-DMA modes
enhance hard disk performance by
increasing the transfer rate. However,
besides enabling these features in the
BIOS Setup, both the Ultra DMA and
Multi-DMA modes require the DMA
driver to be loaded.
