    Hello,

    After i installed the new PU01 patch my second drive (where all my games are) got very very slow (~500kb/s to ~1,5mb/s transfer rates). After looking arround on the interwebs i found out that my drive was reset to POI instead of UDMA5.

    Though i dont know the technicalities behind it, what i did manage to figure out is that POI is slow as hell, and DMA is alot faster. After i completely shut off my PC (even cut off the power for ~3 mins) i went into the BIOS when booting and forced my drive into UDMA5. Everything is working for me again now at the comfortable transfer rates i am used to.

    I just thougt i should let you at SOE know about this and give a possible sollution to those out there with the same issue (pretty sure its a very rare issue though).

    P.s

    My specs are in my sig, as for the HDD in question, i'm using a Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB Sata II for all my games.
