two possibilities. either your disk is actually ide (i wouldn't think so from
a quick look at the vintage), or that ahci driver has issues.
i would try from the install cd
time dd -if /dev/sdE?/data -of /dev/null -bs 512k -count 1000
i'd also be interested in the output of
pci
cat /dev/sdctl
cat /dev/sdE?/ctl
- erik
