Coming into this thread late....

This output gives the best modes possible with a given controller/drive
combo.  Since your post explicitly shows the controller is capable of
udma5, I'm guess your drive maxes out at udma2 (ATA33).

Probably not - you probably wouldn't loose data; your box would most
likely just refuse to set the mode.  If it did though, you'd probably
hose the disk.
