I have now a new disk running on my machine

Why is not my disk with

Any ideas?
Is the SATA controller on your motherboard capable of that speed/SATA version?
Thanks to both for your replies. I am not sure whether my motherborad is capable of SATA 6.0 Gb/s. How can I determine that?

It will say in your mainboard's manual. Often time, on two ports will be SATA3 and the bulk will be SATA2. In my experience, usually the SATA2 are black headers and SATA3 are blue, but that is certainly not a standard. Again, you manual or mainboard's quick reference guide will tell you.
