Why do you say that it is detected as IDE. Normally IDE disks using deprecated IDE driver are shown as hda, hdb etc. where as SATA and the same IDE disks with newer PATA driver are shown as sda, sdb etc. For you it is showing the disk as sda. Take a look at "lspci -k" to see which kernel driver is getting used. Also a very easy method to see the reading speed of the disk is dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024 This will read the first 1024MB of your disk. I think a good disk/controller gives you more than 70MB per second or so.
