That's not a bad thing. Mode 4 means it is operating in PIO mode 4, which
limits its transfer speed to 16.6MB/sec and it takes a bit of CPU time to
read information. UDMA33 (which is a misnomer, it is either ATA33 or UDMA
mode 2, both mean the same), uses less CPU time and can transfer at
33MB/sec.
