Both of those are SATA III, the ones that are II are where the optical drive connects and the hard drive bay under that.

thaks hutsady, so:
20 -> this conector is SATA II , but the connector on mainboard is SATA III
if i put a ssd (19) SATA III in the bay 19, will have a transfer rate of SATA 3, or if it through sata II connector low tnasfer rate ???
how I can solve it?
Thanks everyone, I am learning a lot ... sorry for my English and my little computer knowledge -

The adapter there is just a rewiring of the connector so it should not affect the speed of the connector, if it attaches to the top of the PCB it's sata III, it it's connected to the one under then it's sata 2 for the bays.
-
somewhere where i can buy a wire to connect directly from ssd sata 3 to the mainboard conncetor???
I don´t care if I lose one connection of the two, if I win one SATA 3..
Thanks and repeat ....Sorry for my horrible english -
I don't understand.
Both hard drive bays support SATA-3 natively.
What are you trying to do?
There is no need to change anything, no need to buy any cables and stuff.
I really don't understand the idea. -

The provided connectors are all that you can use since they are specially designed for that board, they should let you use the full speed that the ports are capable off.
Remember only 2 ports in the entire machine will be SATA3. -
Sorry , sorry this is my history:
in the first time, hello from Spain and thanks for the help ( and apologize for my english again )....
One year ago I bought a laptop clevo p180hm...by one reseller in spain called mountain with...
Core i7 2670-QMobile, 2.2/3.1 GHz
2 Gráficas GTX560 Mobile (sli)
3 SODIMM DDR3 4GB 1333 Mhz
INTEL SSD 320 Series 120GB 9.5MM 2.5IN G3-MLC 25NM sata II
raid 0 hdd 500GB 7200rpm 2,5"
...etc
i called the reseller to change the ssd by one of more size and sata 3, and he told me that my laptop only have sata II.....
I opened a topic in forums and through, jaybee83 AND hutsady (thanks a lot) i discover that if I had got sata 3...

But my problem is that, i don,t know where is that conection to connect a samsung 840 pro ... -
i don´t known whre is the mysterious ports sata 3

Why not try all the ports?
-
The SATA-2 and SATA-3 ports look the same
Both hard drive bays have SATA-3 ports.
Just install the SSD in one of those places and you will have SATA-3 speeds!
Simple! -
Have not tried it yet because I don´t buy this yet ..
many crises in Spain ... hehehe ..
and I want to be sure, because if no sata 3, maybe I'm interested in a raid 0 of sata II ssd, to achieve a similar transfer rate like sata 3, but also I have doubts because the intel chipset family 6 not supported raid trim..
