So I have a Maxtor ATA133 hard disk. The D740X to be exact. I have it hooked up to the Promise ATA133 Raid controller on my MSI 845-Ultra. The controller device in the the Windows XP device manager doesn't say what DMA mode it's operating in. Anyone know how to verify what DMA mode it's using? Thanks.

ah ha! I found a little "U6" in the Promise Bios, I take it that means it's using UDMA mode 6.

Thanks!
