Ok, I have used HD Tuner.
HD Tune Pro: WDC WD6401AALS-00L3B2 Benchmark
Read transfer rate

Transfer Rate Maximum : 117.0 MB/sec
Transfer Rate Average : 91.1 MB/sec
Access Time : 12.5 ms

I could not test writing, it says it's disabled and I need to remove all partitions
Under Info I get:

So it looks like the HDD runs under Ultra ATA/512? Instead of SATA? If this is true, then it makes sence I only get about 40MB/s writes.
I was under the impression I am running SATA. In BIOS AHCI is enabled.
For my Seagate, I have no info displayed.
