Hey there, Mohammed!

If it's a mechanical hard drive (HDD), then you won't be able to experience any BIG difference between the SATA II (3 Gb/s = 300 MB/s) or SATA III (6 Gb/s = 600 MB/s) ports on your motherboard. The HDD is limited in its throughput by platter density and RPMs which prevent it from exceeding SATA II bandwidth. However, if this is the only storage device in your system and you are using it as a primary OS drive, then you should connect in the first available SATA port.
If you consider an upgrade to a solid-state drive (SSD), you should keep in mind that it will require a SATA III (6 Gb/s) port due to the fact that their transfer speed could reach over 500 MB/s.

Hope this was helpful. Let us know if you have more...
