How do I verify that my 6 GB/s SATA ports are working under Linux?
Linux detects the ports, and I can use them for disks but I would like to figure out if they are using a 6 GB/s controller/driver instead of the slower, more common speed.

Try:
grep -i sata /var/log/messages | less
The resulting output should contain a number of lines that look like "ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310)" This would be a good place to start!
