The july 24th drivers from windows update still have the performance issue.

Check the burst rate with Nero CDSpeed (freeware, just google). If it is in proper DMA mode, this is what you should get ~25MB/s,

Showed 28mb for me.

Updates on this issue?

Solution: Deinstall the JMicron driver and use the standard Windows IDE-driver, while setting the JMicron to IDE in the BIOS, right?

i got 41 mb/s....

Hey all, I'm having this same problem. It's stuck in PIO mode. I never loaded any JMicron crap drivers, because my 2 SATA HDDs are on the Intel Matrix.

Any idears?

Nevermind - fixed it. :)

Can you post how you did it? Becuase i'm still having the dad-gum problem.



And, to anyone - does the IDE->Sata adapter work with DVD-R/W drives?

Stick with windows driver they work

I had the same issue with my P5B Dlx, E6600 and Samsung SH-W162Z DVD/RW drives.

Uninstalled the JMicron Raid Tool and the issue is gone now.

Burst rate showed 28mb/s as well.
