This output gives the best modes possible with a given controller/drive combo. Since your post explicitly shows the controller is capable of udma5, I'm guess your drive maxes out at udma2 (ATA33). > There's not even a listing for udma5. > Since I keep reading all these warnings > about not trying settings that aren't supported, > should I try udma5? Probably not - you probably wouldn't loose data; your box would most likely just refuse to set the mode. If it did though, you'd probably hose the disk. -- Ross Vandegrift ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A Pope has a Water Cannon. It is a Water Cannon. He fires Holy-Water from it. It is a Holy-Water Cannon.
