Hi Sandra is reporting that transfer modes active is PIO-0 for my hard drives in my RAID 0 Array. I get performance tip 3108 which says "Drive is using PIO instead of DMA. This seriously limits performance of modern drives." All it says is to check settings and install an updated driver.
PS to Eneles I looked in device mgr for my device and there is no setting for this IT8212 ATA raid controller that you mentioned
I did DL and install an updated driver recently maybe it went wrong. Go to work now thanks specs in sig.
