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!

1Cool! I see SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) – RyanTM – 2010-12-14T00:33:34.557
Then you, sir, are probably doing just fine! Good luck with it! – 英律功 – 2010-12-14T00:55:29.907
Do you have any SSD capable of saturating 3Gb/s SATA? The only one so far is Crucial RealSSD C300. – Mircea Chirea – 2010-12-14T05:03:49.850
Yes. We have two of the Curcial RealSSD C300. – RyanTM – 2010-12-15T17:46:35.407
