Ide Hdd Block Mode; Ide Dma Transfer Access; On-Chip Primary / Secondary Ide Device; Sata Mode - Advantech DVMB-554E User Manual

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.
