Why is SATA 2 not running at full speed?

I have a SATA 2 connector in my laptop. I put an SSD SATA 3 disk in it. I installed fresh drivers.
When copying a large file, the speed is about 120 megabytes / sec. Although, in my opinion, even on SATA 1, the speed should be 150 megabytes / sec. And SATA 2 - 300 megabytes / sec. Why is the speed not even up to SATA 1 when it should be SATA 2?

and what does sata and the physical ability to work with a disk at the limit of the capabilities of a given connection have to do with it?)

In order to copy to 150, the disk must also give to 150, too. Add reads and writes and you get SATA2 throughput. So everything is fine with you.

What kind of disk is it, maybe this is the speed limit of the disk itself, regardless of the connector, and the sata number was simply written by marketers.

What is the SATA operating mode in the BIOS, IDE or AHCI?
