I don't believe that's anything to worry about. pretty much the kernel scanning the optical drive to see if there's anything in it.

And last I am wondering why my HD isn't running SATA300 (it should as it is what it is set to).

some SATA-300 disks, like Seagates, have a jumper that can be removed (usually) or installed (less commonly, if at all) to enable SATA-300 mode; others, like Hitachis, require a firmware-management utility to enable SATA-300. I don't know how Samsung did things for their SPxxx disks.
EDIT: whoops, I guess I glossed over "it is what it is set to". so all I can really say to that is "are you sure?" Or maybe that's somehow covered by the patch below, though that doesn't seem likely.
I actually took a look at Samsung's site and searched for your HD model and didn't find any general information (must be an older disk?), but I did see this:

I'm not sure whether it's related to your problem, but if your disk is from that time period and you haven't installed that patch, it may be worth a shot.
sorry, no ideas about the questions I didn't quote.
