It depends on which kernel module gets used, and which version of CentOS we're talking about as to which will perform better.  So research the libata module that drives it when in SATA mode (/dev/sda) versus the straight IDE layer (/dev/hda).

Later kernels and newer CentOS is going to go to /dev/sda either way; /dev/hda is gone from later dists.

Which Supermicro board is this?
