SATA Hard Drive optimization

Purchased a piece of Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 160GB Hard drive the day before yesterday, want to optimize SATA hard drive, same as the previous PATA HDD optimization?

Technical answer: First, SATA hard drives can be optimized like traditional hard disks, such as defragmentation. In addition, it is important to properly install the motherboard driver. After the driver is installed, the correct settings are required on some of the chipset platforms, and the DMA mode is turned on, which is typically done on a chipset such as via, which is rarely the case with Intel. There are also a number of chipset manufacturers for the convenience of users, but also provides special hard disk acceleration software, such as: Intel's IAA (Intel application Accelerator), software installation, the program will automatically according to the physical characteristics of the hard disk to use the best transfer mode, To achieve the goal of optimizing the hard drive.
