Could this happen?

Could AHCI/SATA run at 5.328Gb/s, I know that SATA III is 6.0Gb/s, but is still possible for SATA III to run at 5.328Gb/s aka 666MB/s

Well 5.328 is less than 6 so yes, in theory it is possible. BUT There are currently no SATA drives that can hit that speed. The question is why is 666MB/s important to you? Just because of the significance of the numer or is there some application where you actually need the speed?

SATA3 exchanges bits on the interface at a rate of 6Gbps, but due to the overhead of flow control/error correction etc the practical effective transfer maxes at about 500-550MB/s.
