Compatibility Mode didn't work either so I'll try what you suggested.

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
