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

[Damon Cassell <dcassell@xxxxxxxxx>]

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 to both for your replies. I am not sure whether my motherborad
is capable of SATA 6.0 Gb/s. How can I determine that?

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.
