I've got an Abit IT7 Max2 v2 Mobo and just got my WD Raptor S-ATA Drive.

I've got everything up and running perfectly except one thing.

In the BIOS, I've set the S-ATA bridge mode to 150mb/s, but in the HPT374 BIOS, it willo only let me set the drive mode up to ATA133.

It gives me the following otions -

PIO 0
PIO 1
PIO 2
PIO 3
PIO 4
MW DMA 0
MW DMA 1
MW DMA 2
ATA 16
ATA 25
ATA 33
ATA 44
ATA 66
ATA 100
ATA 133

Is this right??

Thanks
Chez
 
The raptor drives are out on the market already? Sorry can't answer your question t.hough
 
That is because you do not have a true serialata 150 controller. Your board is using a conversion chip in order to convert the sata harddisks signal into a useable parallel ata signal for the HPT374. The fastest speed the HPT374 can run is 133.

Cheers,
