When install SATA HDD to the SATA port that is provided by ICH5/ICH5R chip, the HDD will only work at UDMA5 mode. How can I make my SATA HDD wokring in faster speed?

Based on Intel ICH5(R) controller specification, the controller supports max. transfer mode of IDE channel is UDMA5. Meanwhile, the SATA ports that is provided by ICH5(R) are mapped from IDE channel. Thus, when you connect SATA HDD to the ports ICH5 provides, the max. HDD transfer rate will be set at UDMA5.
