amazon, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING me ******* ***hole. One of the several reasons why we bought a new mobo was the 6Gb/s S-ATA port. Guess what, amazon trolled me!

Edit; maybe hwinfo is trolling cuz it says the chipset is a78 but its a88

check the mobos manual some times the boards have sata 2 and sata 3 ports and are usually labeled

Do the hard drives support SATA III (6 Gbps)? If the drives are only SATA II, then the ports run at a maximum 3 Gbps until you plug in a SATA III drive.

 

Most mechanical hard drives are SATA II because even the top-performing drives can't come anywhere near fully saturating SATA II speeds.

In all honestly, PCIe 2.0 vs 3.0 makes no practical difference (only a couple percent when using top-end GPUs in SLI paired with a high end CPU).

I might be wrong, but HDD's can only go so fast so they should be plugged into the 3Gbps ports, and SSD's in the 6Gbps ports.

Quick google search, those drives run at 3Gb/s

It's not amazon's fault, every time you want to purchase a product, you must go to the manufacturer's website and read the specs there, not from the guys selling it.

 

After going to Asus website, this motherboard does indeed support Sata III (6gbps). If the hard drives you are using are only Sata II, they will show as Sata II.

The PCIe slot is confusing even of the Asus website, it says PCIe 2.0/3.0. You should contact Asus about that, but still there are no single GPU graphic cards that will have a performance difference.

Once the SSDs arrive,  with the system drivers and bios version up to date, try running some SSD benchmarks, if it's still on Sata II performance, contact Asus.

guys, its running 3Gb, because I have a HDD in my laptop runnuing in S-ATA II and the mobo has SATA III, and its still shown in 6Gb, although the drive is 3Gb....

Are you SURE you're using a sata III cable? and a sata III port?

the mobo must be S-ATA III, but when I am replacing the HDD, I will benchmark the sequential speed of the ssd, and if its 3Gb, I will take the S-ATA cable from the mobo box

office computer I am currently using has the a88xm-plus (got a good deal on it so why not), so 8 sata6 ports instead of 6 Sata6 ports that the a88xm-a has, but otherwise sata ports should be the same.

 

OP probably using older sata cable or their drives might be 3Gbps models.
