'dmidecode | less' should tell you. The mainboard make/model is usually 
one of the first sections returned.

Please keep replies on-list. It benefits everyone that way.

Thanks again! My motherborad is the following:

http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/dell-0n826n-specs/

So, apparently, it does not support SATA 6.0 Gb/s, but only SATA 3.0 Gb/s.

SATA 6Gb/s but current 3.0 Gb/s

FWIW the command "lshw" will also show motherboard make/model and a whole
lot of other very verbose information about system hardware. It describes
my motherboard this way:

description: Motherboard
       product: GA-MA770-UD3
       vendor: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

lshw is not a standard package, I think. Install with "yum install lshw".
And yeah, what the other guy said about the limitations of mechanical hard
drives is very true. Those Western Digital Green drives are rated at
~110-120 MB/s sustained.
