Re: am I running sata II ?

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
