If you set this parameter to Disabled, data
transfer from and to the device occurs
one sector at a time.

PIO Mode When set to Auto, BIOS setup
automatically detects if the installed hard
disk supports the function. If supported,

read/write timing that reduces hard disk
activity time. This results in better hard
