Coobox Mac Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 I've also a Maxtor. How is possible activate the DMA mode ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5967-ide-20gb-driver-too-slow/#findComment-37576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jph2003 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I've also a Maxtor. How is possible activate the DMA mode ? I don't believe it has anything to do with what brand hard drive you have. I think it involves the IDE controller chip. What model motherboard are you running on?

aphid Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Well, you can either write your own driver: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ or if your time is worth more than that, there's always the easy way out.

thrunner Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 or if your time is worth more than that, there's always http://www.apple.com/store/.=apple.com/store/] Is that you $teve Job$? The banchmark with Xbench give me 1,06 Mb at second :-/the HDD is Master on primary IDE channel and a DVD RW is master on secondary IDE channel The correct answer is that you should never have a HD in the same IDE channel as a DVDR or CDROM. Try a different channel or better yet use a SATA drive if your chipset supports it. On an Intel 915 or 945 setup with a good SATA you can get 60+MB/s sequential uncached read/write.

fireshark Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I have a RS480, and the performance is unacceptable under AppleGenericPCATADriver. Is the only way to make it work is to put the CD drive under the 2ndary channel? I have a laptop, IDE chip is 0x43701002 (ATI).
