UIDE
« on: July 17, 2004, 02:46:05 PM »
I have a motherboard which has 4 sockets.  Two are IDE sockets with which I am well familiar, the other two are identified in the manual as being 'UIDE'.  Question is, what are UIDE and what is their significance?

Nice mainboard, 4 ATAPI connections!

The 'UIDE' ports are for your high speed Ultra IDE hard drives. You connect 80-line Ultra DMA IDE cables between the UIDE sockets and your DMA-66, 100, 133, or faster hard drives. You connect slower devices like CDROMs and older hard drives (DMA-33 or slower, and PIO only drives) to the other two IDE ports. DVD drives may run better on a UIDE port.

Make sure your BIOS settings enable the high speed drives.
