-          This setting is irrelevant for most IDE disks, with direct memory

-          mode is a feature of most modern IDE hard drives, permitting the

-          rather than the usual one sector per interrupt. When this feature is
-          enabled, it can reduce operating system overhead for disk Programmed
-          Input/Output. On some systems, it also can increase the data
-          throughput of Programmed Input/Output. Some drives, however, seemed
-          to run slower with multiple sector mode enabled. Some drives claimed
-          to support multiple sector mode, but lost data at some settings.
