Ultra dma mode 5 does it matter?

Hi
If I connect one of my maxtor diamond 9 sata hardisks to the promise sata controller, the boot up information says the promise controller is using ultra dma mode 5. My question is what is the correct mode that a sata drive should use? Should it be ultra dma mode 6, or is the dma mode at all relevant for a sata drive?

its fine it matters not at all when drives on the controller

Ultra DMA mode 6

OK, after numerous tries, I failed to boot from IDE3 with the moded bios 5.6 that let you use ide3 and ide4 as normal ide channels. Now don't even ask me question about that, I don't want to here anything related to this.
Now I have flashed again to the standard bios version 5.6. I have my DVD-RW master on IDE2 (Ultra DMA mode2 = 33.33MBps = optimal) and my CD-RW as slave (multi word DMA mode 2 = 16.6 MBps= optimal ). My hd is master on IDE1. In my bios it says my hd is running in PIO mode 4, in windows xp it says it's running in Ultra DMA mode 5 (which I assume is UDMA100= not optimal). Why can't a ATA133 certified motherboard and a ATA133 certified HD can't work at UDMA mode 6?
I'm getting nervous here, I want my hd in UDMA mode 6!!!!!!
Yes I use 80 wire cable. And my hd is alone on it's channel, nothing could stop it!
Is it XP? MSI? me?!?

Yes - the standard IDE ports are ATA-133/UDMA-6 compliant. I don't know how to make WIN-XP show them as UDMA-6 but I'm sure someone else will. It isn't really important however as current ATA-133 drives do not perform better than a good ATA-100 drive.

How to enable Ultra DMA Mode 6?

I've a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Serial ATA HD. The highest mode I can achieve is Ultra ATA-100 (mode 5) and not the maximum support by Barracuda the Ultra ATA-133 (mode 6). How can I enable mode 6 in Windows XP?

I know this is an old question and perhaps the technology has changed since it was discussed. However, I too have been trying to enable Ultra DMA 6 on my Windows XP machine using two 300GB Maxtor Diamond 10 drives (SATA Ultra 16 150mb). Well, I finally figured out that when I change On Chip ATA Operating Mode From Native Mode to Legacy Mode, the windows hardware manager now indicates that all drives are running in Ultra DMA 6. The reality is that there is really no difference in the drive benchmarks when tested with Sandra. The DMA 5 actually may be a bit faster. What's the deal?????

Ultra Dma Mode, second ide

Got a MSI Ultra 745 and on 1st Ide udma mode 5 is on as it should be. But on ide 2 i cant make it run udma mode 5. It just makes it to udma mode 2. The disks are IBM 180gxp 120gb and runs smoothly on udma 5 on ide 1. Downloaded latest ide drivers from SiS, still wont wrk. Got latest bios and are using smartdisk option in bios setup.
Help ?
Sire

Are you using an 80 pin ide cable on the secondary ide channel?

K7N2 Delta2 - Multi-Word DMA Mode 2

Well, I was having problems getting windows XP to access my Seagate SATA 120 Gig Hard Drive at anything other than Multi-Word DMA Mode 2. Finally figured out what I had to do. After messing with cables and SATA connections and generally mucking around for several days, I decided, just for giggles, to enable RAID.
Did not want to run RAID configuration but it worked. The listing in windows Device Manager now shows the drive as Ultra DMA Mode 6. When you enable RAID in BIOS make sure to go in and enable it for SATA as well (consult manual). When I rebooted it asked to hit F10 to set up RAID, this I ignored. Finished booting into windows and new hardware wizard started up. Inserted floppy disk (included in Motherboard bundle) with the NVIDIA raid drivers. That was all. I expect that if you are experiencing similar problems with ATA disks, it might work there too. Hmmm, maybe I will give that a try next!
I had sent a number of email to tech support and they never mentioned this, food for thought!

Another update just came in from MSI support;

Would you please follow the steps below to verify?
1. connect to the SATA HDD to SATA1 on the MB;
2. boot system up and enter BIOS, Load Optimized defaults; set Integrated PeripheralsàOnboard DeviceàSerial ATAàEnabled;Save&exit setup;
3. enter OS, go to Device Manager, expand IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, right click NVIDIA nForce2
SATA Controller and select Properties,choose Primary Channel,then check what transfer mode the SATA HDD works at. We suggest you capture the picture and send it to us. Thanks!
Well, since I was already connected to SATA1 I decided, why not. Maybe third time is a charm (installing the NVIDA drivers that is). So I downloaded the drivers from their link, installed, and rebooted. I now have NVidia MCPS2S Parallel ATA Controller (v2.6) and NVidia MCPS2S Serial ATA Compatible Controller (v2.6) in the device manager under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers".
When I checked the details of the Serial ATA controller the Seagate drive shows up as Serial ATA DMA for transfer mode. When I checked the Parallel controller my IDE drive shows up as Ultra DMA 5 - Ultra 100 for transfer mode. Looks like all is good now and as it should be.
NOTE: had to disable RAID on a reboot to get drive to show up in Windows...hmmm. It worked what can I say!
Thanks to the people at MSI support for convincing me to install the NVidia driver set again.
P.S. NVIDIA nForce2 System Drivers for MCP2S
God I like it when a plan comes together! Hooah!

Dma mode

should I leave dma mode auto in bios and windows or set it in windows device manager from let bios select dma to picking ultra dma and leave auto in bios ??
Its just that its seems really slow to transfer from cd to hdd
Also the sata1/sata2 and sata3/sata4 dma tranfer, should tha tbe set to disabled or enabled.
lol on last think my new antec truepower 550 watt EPS12V reports in core centre and bios this : [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 11.86. My worry was the 12V, are those readings ok ?
Thanks Phil

why do you think the 12V gives this reading on a brand new psu ? :( should I take it back ?
I tried my antec trupower430 and that gets a reading of 11.98-12.02 on the 12v
550 36a - 12v
430 20a - 12v

Inside normal windows computing the ide drivers for sata drives has the dma enabled and overrides the bios setting as it dont communicate through bios.
why does it in device manager say let bios select transfer rate ?? shoud I set this to serial ata for hdd and u/dma4 ultra 66 ? for cd and dvd player ???, or leave it let bios select tranfer mode ??

Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery?

Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery? We use an ipad cart at school, and some of the teachers will connect all the ipads up to the cart, but then neglect to power up the cart. The laptop with the cart has already had the battery wrecked because of this (within a two month period), and I am concerned the ipads may have an issue if this continues to happen. I need some reassurance before I make the other teachers paranoid!

ok this one is kind in the gray area for me. I say if it is plugged in to a power up cart but not plugged in to a outlet, then all is is doing is not charing, and of course lossing a charge over time in standby, not really causing any issues. User guide and apple sites say it will drain the battery life.
Important: The iPad battery may drain instead of charge if iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, to a USB hub, or to the USB port on a keyboard.
however “Battery life” means the time your iPad will run before it must be recharged.
so I think it will be ok, as long as you charge it as usaul it should be fine.
just use these links for and understanding for batteries and the ipad, of course the user guide.

Error 10846 occurs only if DMA mode for transfer ist selected

Hello,
my problem is if I use the DMA mode to for transferring data to the PCs memory always the error 10846 occurs.
I perform the buffered semiperiod measurement with a continuous buffer (circular buffer).
I tried to use Interrupts. The error does not occured.
Is this a known problem?
I read another thread in this forum. But there are no useful answers up to now.
I'm thankful for any hints.
Regards Peter

Hi Peter,
The NI-DAQ Help Manual gives this description for the error:
"Your application was unable to retrieve data from the background acquisition buffer fast enough so the unretrieved data was overwritten with new data. To prevent this error, you might increase the size of the background acquisition buffer, increase the amount of data you read from it per call to the read function/VI, slow down your acquisition rate, or reduce the number of tasks your computer is performing."
This is all valid info because I believe that your acquisition rate is on the verge of being too fast for your buffer size and the number of data points you are reading into your application each time. Therefore, DMA, which is a faster transfer mechanism to get data from your c
ard to the PC memory is probably loading the PC memory with many samples until it catches up with the data acquisition card where as Interrupts will gradually transfer the data to the PC memory. This means DMA is bursting data to a PC memory buffer that is slightly too small while Interrupts are transferring at the same rate you are reading (unless you change your acquisition rate depending on the transfer protocol).
I think the only change you need is to increase the size of your buffer (PC memory). If that doesn't work, also increase the number of points you read from the buffer each time by your application program. There will be a balance between these two numbers that will allow smooth operation with DMA. Hope that helps.

Can I have a general daq event in visual basic while outputing in dma mode?

Hardware: PCI-6711
Software: Visual Basic 6.0
NI-DAQ 6.9.3f3
Windows 2000
I can't get the GeneralDAQEvent_Fire subroutine to happen. I'm trying to output two synchronized waveforms on two channels at sampling rates that can be changed on the fly. To do this, I've set the clock source of the channels to be the GPCTR1. I output on a pulse train on the GPCTR1 and adjust the pulse widths to vary the frequency. I need to be able to switch to the new pulse width at a precise time so that the correct samples are output at the correct samplerate. I want to generate a general daq event which fires whenever a certain number of pulses (and thus samples) on the GPCTR1 have been output. I will
then reset the event and output samplerate within the GeneralDAQEvent_Fire subroutine for the next section of samples. I need to output at up to 1 MSample/second, so I need to be using DMA mode. I have not read anywhere that DAQEvent 0 Aqcuired or Generated n Scans requires interrupt mode, am I wrong about this? I have set my Channel string to CTR1, does this reference the GPCTR1? I set the board, DAQTrigVal0 and enabled properties and then call the refresh method. Is there something else I should do?
I have been reading the NIDAQ Function Reference Help and the NIDAQ for PC Reference manual and have not found a solution. Any suggestions? Also, where can I find info on what the ConfigureDaqEvent method is supposed to do?

Roz,
First of all, I think you will want to use DAQ Event 1 since you desire for a message to be sent after every N updates. This will be more efficient than removing the current message and adding a new message each time the event fires. Furthermore, DAQ Events 0-2 can all be used with DMA transfers. However, you will be unable to use a counter channel with DAQ Events 0-2. Instead you should use one of the analog output channel you are clocking with the counter's output.
Good luck with your application.

Alarm and Clock inappropriate in Thai language on Ultra Stamina Mode

Hi support team,
I have found that letter of "Alarm and Clock " is showing inappropriate in either the first of Thai alphabet or vowel of "า".
-The first of Thai alphabet should show full name as "ก",not half of "ก"
-The vowel of "า",not half of "า"
Please refer the link :https://app.box.com/s/rfsph14jw4mmepk2rqsjc949v1cilpp4

GX600 cant change from PIO to DMA mode

Hi
I have a very irritating problem with my GX600.
I have currently switched my OS from Vista to XP.
My secondary IDE Channel is currently stuck in PIO Mode.(Which causes DVD's, Audio CD's and Burning to Lag terribly.)
I have tried uninstalling the IDE channel but there's no success on reboot.
Could someone please help with this problem.
Thanks

Quote from: mjohnny on 20-November-08, 16:55:00
had a similar problem back then. WinXP Sp2. For some reason my 2nd hdd was set to PIO mode. I uninstalled it from the device manager, then restarted my system. After you log on to windows, it will reinstall some host driver again. Then it will be set to DMA mode.
Pardon for not being clear with the terms i used. I'm on a different OS now and I'm not using the old box anymore.
I have tired this and it did not work...
Does anyone have XP on the GX600?
I will try and update the BIOS and im hoping it will work.

Slow Data DVD Burning, Cannot enable dma mode, takes 20 mins to burn 700mb

so yea, i got a brand new comp. a dv7t-2200. it should burn a dvd as fast as my moms 400$ acre. but nope. so far hp has sent me a new dvd drive, no fix. from doing research i should enable the dma mode in the device manager under the ap-something controller, but there is no primary or 2ndary controller. there is only Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA ACHI Controller thats all. can someone help here? this is really annoying. and im using windows explorer to burn the file to dvd. there just movies but they should burn in about 4 mins compaired to 20. is there any way to enable dma some how or to fix this problem? please let me know ne help would be great

I have the same problem, plus i can assert that EVEN the usb burner il slow and the system seems slowed itself (like as having dma disabled).

Can't open a message in Ultra Stamina Mode

For both suggestions, I need to try on Ultra Stamina Mode or usual mode?

Please be informed that :
There's no messaging app which locates under Settings (either Ultra Stamina Mode or usual Mode) so I can't follow your 2 solutions.
==========================================
I followed your link above, as result is
-I ensured the lock screen / notification bar doesn’t indicate “no service” when the device has coverage.
-I cannot "close-all-button" in the activity menu because lollipop 5.0.2 update doesn’t provide the button for my Xperia Z1.
-I did as this advice "Unblocked devices with server policies (such as Exchange Active Sync for e-mail), to enable the new Lollipop lock-screen notifications"
-I ensured the LED light is lit across all sound modes - and no longer offset by “silent”
-My internal memory is 5 gb so no need to move a content to SD card.
However, as Sony and Android said "
Improved messaging functionality in Ultra stamina mode – some conversations could not be opened before in Ultra stamina mode" then I think your team no need to tell a user that Messaging app is available for Ultra Stamina Mode before I activate the mode (it makes me confused). Some conversations or other should not have affecting to Ultra Stamina Mode. In the future, if some of an app doesn't work peffectly or your team does not on any app, could you please kindly don't push it and tell a user that it is available in the Ultra Stamina Mode?. Thanks

Text messenger closes when opening convocation when in ultra stamina mode

When I put the phone into ultra stamina mode it runs all programs fine and even opens up messenger but when I open a convosation it closes the program it only does this when the phone is completely updated when I factory reset it, messenger work fine in this mode any thoughts?

Hi jraym17,
Welcome to the community,
When you say it closes the program do you mean you get an error message and then it crashes or it just simply shuts down?

Hey Oprion,
Thanks for the question and congrats on your new iPhone 5c. The orientation of your iPhone will depend on the application you are using. For example, most of the built in applications only support the three main orientations (Horizontal, Vertical, Horizontal), whereas the Voice Memo’s application will operate “upside down” for easier access to the microphone.
