What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you transform values from IDE (PIO mode 4), a CPU-driven ATA/IDE transfer mode, into IDE (UDMA mode 3), a DMA-driven transfer mode with higher throughput. Ideal for legacy hardware performance comparisons and configurations.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in IDE (PIO mode 4) units you wish to convert
  • Choose IDE (PIO mode 4) as the source unit and IDE (UDMA mode 3) as the target unit
  • Click the convert button to view the equivalent data transfer rate in IDE (UDMA mode 3)
  • Use the output to benchmark or configure legacy IDE/ATA device settings

Key Features

  • Converts IDE (PIO mode 4) data transfer rate values into IDE (UDMA mode 3) units accurately
  • Supports legacy PATA/IDE interface modes used in older PC and embedded systems
  • Provides clear conversion examples to assist with benchmarking and diagnosis
  • Browser-based, user-friendly interface requiring no installation

Examples

  • 1 IDE (PIO mode 4) = 0.332 IDE (UDMA mode 3)
  • 5 IDE (PIO mode 4) equals 1.66 IDE (UDMA mode 3) by multiplying 5 × 0.332

Common Use Cases

  • Configuring BIOS or firmware settings for older IDE/ATA storage devices
  • Benchmarking legacy storage device performance during hardware upgrades
  • Comparing transfer rates between CPU-driven and DMA-driven modes in retro-computing
  • Troubleshooting and refurbishing vintage PCs and embedded systems

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify which IDE mode your device supports before conversion
  • Use conversion results to inform configuration changes in system BIOS or firmware for optimal legacy device performance
  • Consider system overhead factors when comparing theoretical transfer rates
  • Retain legacy mode compatibility for industrial or retro-computing use cases

Limitations

  • Conversion reflects theoretical maximum throughput, not actual sustained transfer speeds
  • Performance may vary due to system overhead, hardware condition, or software factors
  • Applicable only to legacy PATA/IDE interfaces, not modern SATA or NVMe devices

Frequently Asked Questions

What does IDE (PIO mode 4) represent?
IDE (PIO mode 4) is a CPU-controlled ATA/IDE transfer mode with older timing and handshaking used in legacy storage devices, offering a maximum theoretical throughput of about 16.7 MB/s.

Why convert IDE (PIO mode 4) to IDE (UDMA mode 3)?
Converting helps compare transfer rates between older CPU-driven and newer DMA-driven modes, assisting in benchmarking, upgrades, and maintaining compatibility in legacy systems.

Can this converter be used for modern storage devices?
No, this tool is designed specifically for legacy PATA/IDE modes and is not applicable to modern SATA or NVMe storage technologies.

Key Terminology

IDE (PIO mode 4)
A CPU-driven Programmed Input/Output transfer mode for ATA/IDE devices with about 16.7 MB/s theoretical throughput.
IDE (UDMA mode 3)
An Ultra DMA transfer mode for PATA devices with approximately 44.4 MB/s maximum rate and reduced CPU involvement.
Data Transfer Rate
The speed at which data is transmitted between a storage device and the host system.
