The motherboard supports the next-generation hard drives based on the Serial ATA (SATA) 3Gb/s storage specification, delivering enhanced scalability and doubling the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval and saves. The external SATA port located at the back I/O provides smart setup and hot-plug functions. Easily backup photos, videos and other entertainment contents on external devices.

SATA 3.0 is SATA II

That statement is incorrect.

"SATA 3.0" is an improper referral to SATA 6Gb/s
"SATA II" is an improper referral to SATA 3Gb/s

But to the OP's orginal question the drives are all SATA 3Gb/s and your ports are also.

I saw that after I posted, I should have added the Gb/s. The OP does have the correct SATA to use the SSD
