What does IDE (UDMA mode 0) represent?

IDE (UDMA mode 0) is an Ultra DMA transfer mode for Parallel ATA devices defining interface timing and a nominal max raw data transfer rate around 16.7 MB/s.

Why convert IDE (UDMA mode 0) to megabit per second (SI)?

Conversion helps compare legacy PATA/IDE device speeds with modern digital communication rates expressed in megabit per second.

Does the conversion reflect actual data transfer performance?

The conversion shows nominal rates; actual throughput may differ due to protocol overhead and system conditions.

Examples

2 IDE (UDMA mode 0) equals 265.6 megabit/second (2 × 132.8).
0.5 IDE (UDMA mode 0) equals 66.4 megabit/second (0.5 × 132.8).

Common Use Cases

Diagnosing or specifying throughput on older PATA/IDE hard drives and optical drives.
Troubleshooting DMA timing settings in BIOS or device drivers.
Comparing legacy interface data rates when upgrading to faster interfaces like SATA or USB.
Evaluating network speeds and planning bandwidth for streaming and digital communications.

Tips & Best Practices

Use conversions to help plan system upgrades by comparing legacy and modern data rates.
Consider protocol overheads separately since nominal rates do not reflect real-world throughput exactly.
Verify settings in BIOS or device drivers when troubleshooting legacy hardware performance.

Limitations

Nominal IDE (UDMA mode 0) rates are approximate and vary with system conditions and overhead.
Megabit per second (SI) unit uses decimal prefixes and does not include protocol or encoding overheads affecting real throughput.
