The interface speeds are all listed as UDMA 6 whether they are IDE or SATA drives.

What about ATA Device Physical Info > Interface and Buffer-to-Host Data rate ?

Those fields are non-existent.

They must be there, just renamed.


Under Storage -> ATA, there are three subcategories: (1) ATA Device Properties, (2) ATA Device Features, and (3) ATA Device Manufacturer.

Under #1, there are: Model ID, Serial Number, Revision, Parameters, LBA Sectors, Buffer, Multiple Sectors, ECC Bytes, Max PIO transfer mode, Max UDMA transfer mode, Active UDMA transfer mode, and Unformatted Capacity.

Under #2, there are just bunch of standard features that either checked or unchecked, such as: SMART, Security Mode, Power Management, Advanced power Management, Write Cache, Host Protected Area, Power Up in Standby, Automatic Acoustic Management, 48-bit LBA, and Device Configuration Overlay.

Under #3, you just have two fields: Company Name, Product Info website.
