What about it?

Sorry I forgot to write it down, was in hurry :S, on other videos and pictures online people got SATA written there instead of ATA, see on picture it says ATA drive, but for sata3 it needs to be SATA there?

SATA = serial ATA lol, they're the same thing. SATA 3 makes no difference compared to SATA 2 for mechanical storage anyways. I thought you were on about the driver being from 2006 tbh, which isn't a big deal either.

A SATA drive is still an ATA drive, just one that uses a serial ATA connection.

Even on my Linux machine, all SATA drives have an ATA-prefix in their designation.

Bottom line: All is as it should be as far as I can tell.

PS: SATA3/SATA2 does not make a difference on mechanical drives, at least I have

not yet seen any HDD benchmarks to the contrary.

Nope, no need for updating drivers (I'm not even sure you could).

In situations like these, it might be handy to remember the saying "never change a winning team". If something is performing as it should, there's no need to change anything ;)
