    "Direct Memory Access (DMA) is the theoretical data access rate of a Drive measured in megabytes per second. For instance, an Ultra DMA-100 Hard Drive will theoretical access data at a rate of 100 megabytes per second and an Ultra DMA-133 Drive will theoretical access data at a rate of 133 megabytes per second. So this technical brief will show you how to enable Direct Memory Access (DMA) on your Computer System."

    google is your friend.

    DMA has nothing to do with the interface of the drive. ide, sata, or scsi.

      don't worry about what it means. i very much doubt that you'll find a hard drive that doesn't allow dma nowadays.
