Is there a way to tell if my sata II drives are running

I don't know whether or not there is a way to tell that (maybe with hdparm?).
But I don't think this matters much anyway.

These days _fast_ harddisks can deliver a sustained data rate of about 60MB/s, maybe with peaks of 80MB/s. So if you want to test the speed of SATA-II you could try to create a RAID0 array with at least 3 fast harddisks and see whether its data rate exeeds about 150MB/s.

HTH,
        Jens
