Um, I notice that my drives are in the 16 bit mode....I can set them with hdparm -c 1 /dev/hda But how do you make them boot that way?
OK - it does look like the drive so far, but the unbuffered speeds look like DMA is turned off. Let's see if that helps:
hdparm -v /dev/hda will tell us how the drive is set up hdparm -c 1 -d 1 /dev/hda should enable DMA if it's off hdparm -tT /dev/hda will test speeds again
