Thread: How di I check SATA controller speed?


hi all.
have bought hp proliant microserver serve nas installed ubuntu server 10.04.3.

have dilemma whether sata controller sata2 or sata3. has 4 hdd bays , comes single 250gb sata2 disk. believe there parameter in hdparm check speed interface since disk sata2 show sata2 anyway.
there command can show me controller speed/sata version? have executed lspci , says:
sata controller: ati sb700/sb800 sata controller [ahci mode] (rev 40)

googled , found 1 ubuntu bug report (for previous ubuntu versions) poster said has mobo sata3 , controller reported lspci same, letter. i'm not sure if definite proof sata3 controller. since says otherwise:
http://uk.insight.com/en-gb/producti...vers/hpia07p1e

have exact part number. says storage controller sata 300.

want start planning hdd purchase , great if can me resolve dilemma controller. server headless have ssh access.


guess means sata2:

code:
[    1.618342] ahci 0000:00:11.0: ahci 0001.0200 32 slots 4 ports 3 gbps 0xf impl sata mode [    1.619287] ata1: sata max udma/133 abar m1024@0xfe6ffc00 port 0xfe6ffd00 irq 25 [    1.619293] ata2: sata max udma/133 abar m1024@0xfe6ffc00 port 0xfe6ffd80 irq 25 [    1.619297] ata3: sata max udma/133 abar m1024@0xfe6ffc00 port 0xfe6ffe00 irq 25 [    1.619302] ata4: sata max udma/133 abar m1024@0xfe6ffc00 port 0xfe6ffe80 irq 25 [    1.868168] ata4: sata link down (sstatus 0 scontrol 300) [    2.032119] ata3: sata link 3.0 gbps (sstatus 123 scontrol 300) [    2.032152] ata2: sata link 3.0 gbps (sstatus 123 scontrol 300) [    2.044116] ata1: sata link 3.0 gbps (sstatus 123 scontrol 300)
