They transfer at their rated speed but only have the bus for a few milliseconds at a time. Regardless of the device, if you transfer the data using dma, you are going to pass more information per turn. I figure the rest is advertising hype.

Have you actually tried it yet? It should automatically set it to the drive's highest capability (controller allowing). Frankly, I've never seen a DVD drive, or any other optical drive for that matter, capable of DMA66, nor would it even need to be (33 is the highest I've seen).

atacontrol(8)
Hello, I have a few questions about atacontrol. First, why the option 'enclosure' does not seem to work? << cnst# atacontrol enclosure 0 0 atacontrol: ioctl(ATAENCSTAT): Device not configured >> Second, where do I have to indicate that my DVD-ROM supports UDMA66? I assume that after saying "atacontrol mode 1 udma66 udma66", the settings are going to be vanished the next reboot. Third, why it does not want to set the DVD-ROM to UDMA66 (the device supports it, as well as my 80-pin cable, and motherboard): << cnst# atacontrol mode 1 udma66 udma66 Master = UDMA33 Slave = ??? cnst# atacontrol info 1 Master: acd0 ATA/ATAPI rev 4 Slave: no device present >> The other question I have, is on how can I turn on the automatic acoustic management? << cnst# atacontrol cap 0 0 ATA channel 0, Master, device ad0: ATA/ATAPI revision5 device model IC35L040AVER07-0 serial number <> firmware revision ER4OA44A cylinders 16383 heads 16 sectors/track 63 lba supported 80418240 sectors lba48 not supported dma supported overlap not supported Feature Support EnableValue Vendor write cacheyes yes read ahead yes yes dma queued yes yes 31/1F SMART yes yes microcode download no no security yes yes power management yes yes advanced power management yes no 0/00 automatic acoustic management yes no 254/FE 128/80 >> Cheers, Constantine. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
