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).
There's not even a listing for udma5.
Since I keep reading all these warnings
about not trying settings that aren't supported,
should I try udma5?
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.
