137 This setting is irrelevant for most IDE disks, with direct memory
138 access, to which multiple sector mode does not apply. Multiple sector
139 mode is a feature of most modern IDE hard drives, permitting the
140 transfer of multiple sectors per Programmed Input/Output interrupt,
141 rather than the usual one sector per interrupt. When this feature is
142 enabled, it can reduce operating system overhead for disk Programmed
143 Input/Output. On some systems, it also can increase the data
144 throughput of Programmed Input/Output. Some drives, however, seemed
145 to run slower with multiple sector mode enabled. Some drives claimed
146 to support multiple sector mode, but lost data at some settings.
147 Under rare circumstances, such failures could result in massive
148 filesystem corruption.
