i guess i'm asking what decides how a device is going to connect
Both host controller and device controller are negotiating for a highest
possible bandwidth.
If a host controller supports speeds up to 3.0Gb only, then device
controller will operate at 3.0Gb, and it doesn't matter if the device
supports faster speeds.
Usually, SATA connectors on motherboards are separated by capability and
could be marked by different colors. Some of them support up to 3.0Gb
only and others support up to 6.0Gb.
Read a manual for your motherboard to find out, if there are any 6.0Gb
connectors and where are they located.
