    Thanks for your fast reply.

    I know that my computer and my drives are able to run in UDMA33.
    But how do I know that Windows use UDMA33?
    Or higher if I buy a new drive?

      What pepe said is the easiest and most forward way, and works for most HD.
      Also , most hard disks manufact. have those utils/progs on their sites, where u can download one for your specific HD.

        it may also be wise to check that DMA is actually enabled in device manager!

            Hi.

            Anyone know of a utility/program that tells you what DMA mode you are in? UDMA3, UDMA4? I haven't found any!

            Please, reply quick if you know.
