How do i know

[hartty]

Hi all, I have recently upgraded my pc and have bought a sata II hard drive and compatible mobo, bascically i installed the sata drivers when installing windows but to be honest loading times havent increased that much if at all.

Is there a way or a programme to determin if my sata drive is running at full speed or have i installed it wrong

Thanks for any help

P.s The hd is a WD 200gb and the mobo is a msi K8N NEO 4

By using that programme it is saying that i am getting 170mbs, is that right. I know its above sata speeds but seems slow for sata II speeds

My average speed is 56mbs
