A good program to give you a measure of speed is HDTach - it gives you a measure of the actual data transfer rate. It might give you an idea, at least!

I see you have caught the litigation bug :D

Seriously though, no HD's really utilize SATAII bandwidth, let alone SATA.

As for the motherboard, what model is it?

Jumper on the hdd itself? I know some have them.

Yep, they sure do, you select either SATA I or SATA II on the rear of the drive for compatibility purposes.

Forgot about the jumpers, just getting used to the fact that I no longer need to select Master or Slave on these new fangled SATA thingies. :)

I have a Barracuda 7200.9 which doesn't appear to have any.

If both the hdd and the mobo are SATA II then only thing i can think of is the jumpers, 2 of my drives have them one of them does(but then that one could be a SATA I thinking about it, its a raptor.)
