Hello.

I have a SATA HD, installed as SATA HD (not as ide in motherboard) and
Debian squeeze detects me this as IDE.

What can I do for change his?

Appended there is is the output of hdparm and sdparm

Thanks
Josep

It did pick up that its Transport is Serial.. Technically speaking, SATA
is only a Serial variant of ATA (which normally runs in parallel, hence
PATA). Even though the drive may show up as a general ATA device that
seems to be the norm (also for the fact that the kernel did put the
drive in /dev/sda as opposed to /dev/hda) everything looks good though.
If anyone has a second opinion, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks

Hello Amrit

The performance of this HD is very poor,my old computer, SATA1, was much
more fast than this SATA2 so, I'm looking how increase the performance
of this computer.

Josep

This 1.5TB Seagate ST31500541AS drive spins at 5900 rpm. Was your old drive a
7200 rpm model? If so, that would explain the performance drop. The old
drive will probably be faster across the board with random I/O. The new drive
will likely stream sequential I/O a bit faster. Given that the bulk of most
workstation/desktop I/O is random, the drive with the faster spindle speed
will have better performance, even if it is older.

For example, as a test, slap a used U320 SCSI card and a 5 year old 73GB
15,000 rpm Seagate or IBM U320 SCSI disk into your current workstation and
you'll see it run circles around _any_ brand new 750-2TB SATA drive. It'll be
twice as fast or more with random I/O pretty much across the board, and will
still be competitive WRT streaming I/O.

When it comes to mechanical disk performance, there is no substitute for
spindle speed.

"dmesg | grep SATA" will tell.

AFAIK, those features are only available under SATA specification.
