Looking at the dmesg output I am a little confused, see comments below:
partial dmesg output follows:

This is your optical (CD/DVD) unit; I doubt that you can saturate that
link, even if your drive can do a sustained 16x transfer with a DVD it
will use only 21MBps. Your HD is using UDMA/100.
aren't the ata2.00: messages referring to my hard drive and the
ata2.01 messages referring to my optical drive?

ata2.00: ATA-6, max UDMA/100, 117210240 sectors: LBA48
ata2.00: ata2: dev 0 multi count 16

ata2.01: ATAPI, max UDMA/33

ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33 <==== why isn't this 66 or 100 ?

You're right, I misparsed your log. Probably Arjan is right about the wiring.

Hi Luca,

The specs for the laptop say it supports ide 100MBps (Ultra DMA 5).
Datová propustnost k IDE:   100 MBps (Ultra DMA 5)
