Hello,

I wonder if you would mind performing a little expertise on the following situation :

[Deleted Image Link]

Why is there one hdd in IDE mode (WD3200H1CS,latest firmware) and the other one in true Sata (WDBABT0010HBK) ? Does the IDE mode have an impact on performance ?

Thank  you.

When it comes to performance, there really isn’t a big difference in using IDE, RAID, SATA, AHCI.  The BIOS will select the best mode for better performance.
