Very likely. :)

I hate to repeat myself, but no. Here are the speeds of SATA:

Generation   Year   Gross bandwidth   Net bandwidth
---------------------------------------------------------
SATA 1       2003     1.5 Gbps        1.2 Gbps (150 MB/s)
SATA 2       2004     3.0 Gbps        2.4 Gbps (300 MB/s)
SATA 3       2008     6.0 Gbps        4.8 Gbps (600 MB/s)

Even SATA 1 is faster than your new ethernet card.

My source (as most often): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SATA
If you know the name of a technical thing, the quickest way to concise
facts is wikipedia.
