    Does anyone know what the difference is when you have sata native mode enabled.

    I'm assuming disabled makes it emulate the drive as a IDE drive.

    So would that mean it only runs at 133mb/s?

    I think it still operates at 150mb/s, but I'm not positive. What it DOES do is allow you to do a clean XP install.

    It does have some native SATA support, but it does not recognize all contemporary SATA controllers.
