because it is most liekly connected to a port which only
supports 3.0 Gb/s, on HP 8200/8300 Elite Minitowers as
example you have 4 internal SATA connectors and only two
of them are 6.0 Gb/s, two are 3.0 Gb/s and if you act
careless and connect a disk to the 5th obe which is for
the optical drive you have only 1.5 Gb/s
