What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you transform values between IDE (UDMA-33) and IDE (PIO mode 3) data transfer modes, both used in older Parallel ATA (PATA) storage devices. It assists in understanding performance differences and configuring legacy systems.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in IDE (UDMA-33) mode you want to convert.
  • Select IDE (PIO mode 3) as the target transfer mode.
  • Click convert to get the equivalent value based on the provided conversion rate.

Key Features

  • Converts data transfer units between IDE (UDMA-33) and IDE (PIO mode 3).
  • Supports benchmarking and troubleshooting legacy PATA drives.
  • Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required.

Examples

  • 1 IDE (UDMA-33) equals approximately 2.97 IDE (PIO mode 3).
  • 5 IDE (UDMA-33) converts to about 14.86 IDE (PIO mode 3).

Common Use Cases

  • Benchmarking or reporting throughput on legacy PATA hard drives and optical drives.
  • Configuring or troubleshooting BIOS/controller transfer modes on older PCs.
  • Comparing legacy PATA performance when upgrading or replacing drives.
  • Testing performance or compatibility in embedded or retrocomputing systems.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure your system supports the selected transfer mode before testing or configuring.
  • Use this conversion to understand relative throughput differences between DMA and CPU-driven modes.
  • Apply conversions for benchmarking and compatibility checks on vintage hardware.

Limitations

  • Conversion is theoretical and based on maximum burst rates, not actual performance.
  • Performance may vary due to system overhead, hardware conditions, and software.
  • IDE (PIO mode 3) is CPU-intensive and slower, limiting its use in modern systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IDE (UDMA-33)?
IDE (UDMA-33) is a Parallel ATA data transfer mode that uses DMA to move data, with a theoretical max burst rate of 33.3 MB/s.

How does IDE (PIO mode 3) differ from IDE (UDMA-33)?
IDE (PIO mode 3) uses programmed I/O driven by the CPU and has a lower theoretical throughput of about 11.1 MB/s, unlike the DMA-based IDE (UDMA-33).

Why convert between these two modes?
Conversion helps compare performance, configure legacy systems correctly, and troubleshoot transfer mode issues on older devices.

Key Terminology

IDE (UDMA-33)
A Parallel ATA data transfer mode using direct memory access with a max theoretical burst rate of 33.3 MB/s, typical for legacy hard drives.
IDE (PIO mode 3)
A programmed I/O transfer mode driven by the CPU with about 11.1 MB/s max throughput, used for compatibility with older IDE devices.
DMA
Direct Memory Access, a data transfer method allowing peripherals to send data to memory without CPU involvement.
