because it is most liekly connected to a port which only
supports 3.0 Gb/s, on HP 8200/8300 Elite Minitowers as
example you have 4 internal SATA connectors and only two
of them are 6.0 Gb/s, two are 3.0 Gb/s and if you act
careless and connect a disk to the 5th obe which is for
the optical drive you have only 1.5 Gb/s

Re: SATA 6Gb/s but current 3.0 Gb/s

FWIW the command "lshw" will also show motherboard make/model and a whole
lot of other very verbose information about system hardware. It describes
my motherboard this way:

   description: Motherboard
   product: GA-MA770-UD3
   vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

lshw is not a standard package, I think. Install with "yum install lshw".
And yeah, what the other guy said about the limitations of mechanical hard
drives is very true. Those Western Digital Green drives are rated at
~110-120 MB/s sustained.

Thanks again! My motherborad is the following:

http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/dell-0n826n-specs/

So, apparently, it does not support SATA 6.0 Gb/s, but only SATA 3.0 Gb/s.

It will say in your mainboard's manual. Often time, on two ports will be
SATA3 and the bulk will be SATA2. In my experience, usually the SATA2 are
black headers and SATA3 are blue, but that is certainly not a standard.
Again, you manual or mainboard's quick reference guide will tell you.



Thanks for your reply. Is there some way of determining the model of
my motherboard by software?

'dmidecode | less' should tell you. The mainboard make/model is usually 
one of the first sections returned.


Please keep replies on-list. It benefits everyone that way.

No matters, hows capable or which port/controller is used, because
mechanical sata hdds will never fill limits of sata2 capacity. Sata3
ports are most commonly used for fast SSD.

Is the SATA controller on your motherboard capable of that speed/SATA version?


Thanks to both for your replies. I am not sure whether my motherborad

It will say in your mainboard's manual. Often time, on two ports will be 
SATA3 and the bulk will be SATA2. In my experience, usually the SATA2 
are black headers and SATA3 are blue, but that is certainly not a 
standard. Again, you manual or mainboard's quick reference guide will 
tell you.

Is the SATA controller on your motherboard capable of that speed/SATA version?
