Subject: UDMA controller questions...yet again...
Hi,
I've asked this before, and I've read some reports
on the mailing list archives regarding this but
I'm still stuck.
Is there any way to determine if the UDMA controller
is running in mode 5 (UDMA100)??? It works, and it's
quick but I really need to know how quick as all I
can say at the moment is `it feels quicker than my
old ATA33'. Thats bloody useless - even win2k is
more helpful (for once).
hdparm and bonnie are *not* acceptable as they dont
tell you what transfer mode the drive and controller
are in AFAIK. Transfer mode is very important!!!!
Can someone pull finger-out and write an up to date
SDB article on UDMA too so we can clear this up?
There are loads of posts in the mailing lists
regarding this - mainly people asking the same
question I am. Also, the SDB is our first port of
call.
FYI I'm using an Intel DE815EEA mobo with 2 very nice
IBM Deskstar 30G 75GXP disks. This setup is about as
standard as it gets as Intel made the chipset and IBM
made the disks :)
Cheers,
- Chris.
