Hi,
I'm trying to get my SATA harddrive running in UDMA 6 mode but I
cannot get it to anything faster than UDMA 2. So the question is: Is
it possible to get the my system running in UMDA 6, if yes, how?
Firstly, some basic system configuration information (details below):
Motherboard: ASUS, A7N8X DeLuxe, Sil-3112A
Harddrive: Seagate Barracuda 80GB, SATA150 (connected with SATA)
Linux 2.4.21-rc2-ac1
AMD_IDE: PCI device 10de:0065 (nVidia Corporation) (rev a2) UDMA100 controller on pci00:09.0
SiI3112 Serial ATA: IDE controller at PCI slot 01:0b.0
SiI3112 Serial ATA: chipset revision 2
SiI3112 Serial ATA: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide2: MMIO-DMA at 0xf880d000-0xf880d007, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
ide3: MMIO-DMA at 0xf880d008-0xf880d00f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio
At first I couldn't get it running in UDMA at all, but then I found
this [1] tip, which got me going at UDMA 2:
--- echo max_kb_per_request:15 > /proc/ide/hde/settings hdparm -X66 /dev/hde hdparm -d1 /dev/hdehdparm -i /dev/hde /dev/hde: Model=ST380013AS, FwRev=3.05, SerialNo=3JV1SG6S Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs RotSpdTol>.5% } RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4 BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=8192kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16 CurCHS=65535/1/63, CurSects=4128705, LBA=yes, LBAsects=156301488 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120} PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2 AdvancedPM=no WriteCache=enabled Drive conforms to: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13 1410D revision 2: 1 2 3 4 5 6 ---
If I try to set anything higher than 66 I'll get: "Speed warnings UDMA 3/4/5 is not functional":
--- hdparm -X67 /dev/hde /dev/hde: setting xfermode to 67 (UltraDMA mode3) HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setxfermode) failed: Input/output error
dmesg hde: Speed warnings UDMA 3/4/5 is not functional. ---
However, my hardware should support udma6:
