HPT374 RAID bus controller SATA, only UDMA 33

[Lukas Postupa]

Hi,

my SAMSUNG 250GB drive connected to HPT374 RAID bus controller (SATA) is
only working at UDMA 33.

I am using
HPT36X/37X chipset support (*).

And here is what dmesg says:

ide5: BM-DMA at 0xc008-0xc00f, BIOS settings: hdk:DMA, hdl:pio
hdk: SAMSUNG SP2504C, ATA DISK drive
hdk: max request size: 1024KiB
hdk: 488397168 sectors (250059 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=30401/255/63,
UDMA(33)
hdk: cache flushes supported
 hdk:

Trying to set UDMA 3-5 directly doesn't work:

dmesg:

hdk: Speed warnings UDMA 3/4/5 is not functional.


hdparm -t /dev/hdk

/dev/hdk:
 Timing buffered disk reads:   42 MB in  3.06 seconds =  13.74 MB/sec

Does anyone have a solution to fix this bottleneck?

regards,

Lukas
