How do I find out my SATA link speed? How do I make sure my sata
hard disk is working at 6Gbps speed and how do I verify this on a
Linux server running on HP or IBM amd64 hardware?
Introduction: You need to go through the dmesg command output or

a log file called /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog . You can
also use smartctl command to find out information about hard disk
and current link speed on Linux based system.
A note about SATA revision

SATA REVISION => SPEED ({Gbit|MB}/s)
SATA revision 1.0 => 1.5 Gbit/s, 150 MB/s
SATA revision 2.0 => 3 Gbit/s, 300 MB/s
Linux Command To Find SATA Link Speed Such as 1.5 / 3.0 /

6.0 / 16.0 Gbps
You need to use the following commands:
1. dmesg command – Display the Linux kernel ring buffer.

2. smartctl command – Control and monitor command for SMART hard disks or SSDs.
Let us see all examples in details.
dmesg command examples

Open the Terminal or login using ssh command and than type the following command:
dmesg | grep -i sata | grep

'link up'
Sample outputs:
[ 18.120000] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl F300)
[ 39.530000] ata2: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl F300)
Here is another example:
1/6
dmesg | grep -i --color ahci
dmesg | grep -i ahci | grep -i --color
Gbps
Sample outputs:
[ 1.161418] ahci 0000:00:11.0: version 3.0

[ 1.161713] ahci 0000:00:11.0: irq 72 for MSI/MSI-X
[ 1.161776] ahci 0000:00:11.0: AHCI 0001.0300 32 slots 1 ports 6 Gbps 0x1 impl
SATA mode
[ 1.161783] ahci 0000:00:11.0: flags: 64bit ncq sntf ilck pm led clo pmp fbs pio
slum part
[ 1.162116] scsi0 : ahci
You can find same info using /var/log/messages:

# grep -i SATA /var/log/messages | grep --color -i 'link up'
Sample outputs:
Sep 2 14:56:50 wks01 kernel: [25518.962661] ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus
113 SControl 300)
123 SControl 300)
123 SControl 300)
Sep 2 22:09:06 wks01 kernel: [ 3.451270] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus
123 SControl 300)
113 SControl 300)
123 SControl 300)
123 SControl 300)
113 SControl 300)
123 SControl 300)
123 SControl 300)
113 SControl 300)
123 SControl 300)
123 SControl 300)
113 SControl 300)
123 SControl 300)
Please note that on modern Linux distro /var/log/messages may be replaced with
/var/log/syslog:
# grep -i SATA /var/log/syslog | grep --color -i 'link up'
Use smartctl command to find out SATA speed info on Linux

2/6
Type the following command as root user:
sudo smartctl -a /dev/DEVICE-NAME-

HERE
sudo smartctl -i /dev/DEVICE-NAME-
HERE
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep
"^SATA"
sudo smartctl -i /dev/sdb | grep
"^SATA"
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda
sudo smartctl -i /dev/sdb
Sample outputs:
smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [x86_64-linux-3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64] (local build)

Gif 01: Linux commands to find out SATA link speed
Find Linux SATA link speed with hdparm command

To get SATA hard disk link speed, type:
sudo hdparm -I /dev/DEVICE-NAME-HERE | egrep

"Model|speed"
sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda | egrep
"Model|speed|Transport"
Sample outputs:
Model Number: WDC WD1600BEVS-08VAT2

Transport: Serial, SATA 1.0a, SATA II Extensions, SATA Rev 2.5
