a 6gbps drive connected to a 3gbps controller is not going to have a 6gbps throughput.
And just to hammer that point home, any good modern SSD is going to have a capacity of 550 MBytes/sec or more. It is going to mostly saturate that 6 Gbit/sec SATA channel. Putting the drive on a 3 Gbit/sec channel is going to limit you to the 280 MByte/sec range.
