You could set it , but i'm pretty sure that both drives will stay at UDMA 2, they're not faster

as far as i know all lit-on drives are UDMA2
only optical drive that i know that operates in UDMA mode 5 is the Asus DVD E616.

ok, u dont need the speed but the error correcting code wich is available on UDMA mode 5 is a nice extra

On some old firmware versions the LTD-165H was UDMA3.
