Guys, HD Tune says that the suppported mode is UDMA Mode 6 but the Active mode is UDMA Mode 5 so would like to know what are these and whether my HDD are running at SATA2 speeds. Also is that for UDMA Mode 6 do i need to update the HDD cables??
 
Do a file benchmark test in Hd tune and and NO additional or special cabel required other than normal sata cabel
