It doesn't matter what speed your motherboard (SATA controller)
supports if the disk speed is slower. What brand/model of disk do you
have? What kernel version? How are you measuring the disk speed?

Hello,
   I have a Seagate ST3160211AS.It is a Barracuda 160GB hard disk with a
   speed of 7200RPM.It supports upto 300MB/s with Native Command Queing.I checked the average speed of copying by copying a
         3GB file from one FAT32 partition to another.I got a average speed of around
         15MB/s.I have the kernel 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7
                                                         Thanks...
