Hi, I had a SATA drive run at Ultra DMA mode 5, is it the maximum speed or it should have run at Ultra DMA mode 6?
please help thanks.

Hi Philip, thanks for your help, so how do I check if my SATA drive is running at maximum speed?

Are you sure of that ?
The speed of your drive is determined by the SATA controller & not the IDE controller.
Serial ATA drives:
SATA I drives run at 150MBps
SATA II drives run at 300MBps
IDE drives:
UDMA 5 is 100MBps
UDMA 6 is 133MBps
Unless you are using a special adapter to connect the SATA dive to an IDE connection this is not an issue.
regards,
Philip T
