I just put in a new for the first time a SATA drive which is a WD SATA 300MB/s 250gb 7200 16mb cache WD CAVIER SE16

And is there a program or something to make sure the drive is running as the specs say cause I havent seen mind blowing performance gains from my old ide maxtor ata133 7200 drive.

HD TUNE is probably the best HDD benchmarking tool out there. It will allow you to run performance tests on your old and new drive.
