Should the options be disabled like that? I know on my external I am able to choose between the 2. I also couldn't find an area for the DMA only mode (I remember my old desktop used to have it under the IDE/ATA area). I have a SATA 2.5 drive.

Thanks for the help!!

I believe internal drivers are always optimized for performance since they cannot be (easily!) disconnected.

Oh ok. So I guess that would make sense to disable to option since you can't choose to easily remove the drive. I just wanted to double-check just in case. Thanks!
