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!!!!
Have you tried hdparm -vi ? It tells me that mine is mode 2. -- Mark Hounschell markh@compro.net
