You are connected to the correct ports for optimum performance
SATA3_0 - SATA3_5 are provided by the chipset and are the highest performing of the 8 available. SATA3_A0 and SATA3_A1 are provided by the Asmedia controller and are not as fast but are still faster than SATA2. The Asmedia ports are ideal for data storage such as photographs, music, movies etc, basically anything that does not require optimum access and write times. The intel ports provide maximum throughput and are ideal for boot drives, gaming drives and other programs/files that benefit from access speeds. I hope this is what you were looking for.
