This is how to identify SATA type when upgrading a hard drive:

In HWINFO, navigate in the device tree to Bus > PCI Bus #0. Under PCI Bus #0, click on the SATA AHCI Controller device. Details about this device will be displayed in the right pane. Scroll through this pane and you will find a heading "SATA Host Controller" with the Interface Speed Supported as follows: "Interface Speed Supported", "Gen 3 6.0 Gbps".
