two possibilities.  either your disk is actually ide (i wouldn't think so from
a quick look at the vintage), or that ahci driver has issues.

i would try from the install cd

	time dd -if /dev/sdE?/data -of /dev/null -bs 512k -count 1000

i'd also be interested in the output of
	pci
	cat /dev/sdctl
	cat /dev/sdE?/ctl
