I've tried googling this, and also reading my manual, but there seems to be no clear description as to where the intel sata ports are and where the asmedia ports are. In every single review, product specification, and even the manual it just says, "6 ports are native to the z97, while 4 are seperate asmedia sata controllers. Am I easily overlooking something here? Can someone just point out which 6 are for intel? I've got the link below to a picture of the ports. Thanks

Might be a bit of a stretch, but I'd guess the four right-most SATA ports, the ones labelled SATA_A1/A2/A3/A4 would be your ASMedia ports. Again, I'm guessing here.
