No, no confusion.  If I do a hdparm -i /dev/hda I receive:

/dev/hda:

 Model=Maxtor 6E040L0, FwRev=NAR61590, SerialNo=E1JN7RXE
 Config={ Fixed }
 RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=57
 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=2048kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16
 CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=78165360
 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
 PIO modes:  pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
 DMA modes:  mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 *udma3 udma4 udma5 udma6
 AdvancedPM=yes: disabled (255) WriteCache=enabled
 Drive conforms to: (null):  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

The UDMA mode was changed (lowered) from 5 to 3.  I am not sure of the
syntax to do it, however man hdparm will lead you in the right way.
