Is this right?
yes, this is typical for add-in controllers. The system sees the
card, not the controller, like it does the ones on the motherboard.
In fact, many parallel ATA cards show up as SCSI controllers in OS X
(at least in 10.2, the last rev I used one with)
Is there any way to determine that I am getting the benefit of the
SATA drive's speed?
It's difficult, because the PCI bus is the limiting factor here, I
think.
