Mobile Intel® HM76 Express Chipset

• Total # of SATA Ports 6
• Max # of SATA 6.0 Gb/s Ports 2

Depends on whether Asus used the 2 6Gbps ports or one of the 4 3Gbps ports.

Anyway, in real life use, either are more than enough.

How can I verify if it ASUS used SATA 3 or SATA 2 controllers?

By trying to use a SATA 3 drive. It doesn't matter.

You won't notice any difference in normal usage between 3Gbps or 6Gbps.
