Looking at the dmesg output I am a little confused, see comments below:
partial dmesg output follows:

===============****
This is your optical (CD/DVD) unit; I doubt that you can saturate that
link, even if your drive can do a sustained 16x transfer with a DVD it
will use only 21MBps. Your HD is using UDMA/100.
Forcing the interface to a higher speed may lead to CRC errors when
using the drive.
