Msi p55 gd65 vs Msi p55"A" gd65

First thing I get is the P55A on the Global site http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1...
On the US site I get P55 http://us.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&...

I've never seen a direct comparison between those two boards.
But from my understanding the A model is a newer board which features usb3.0 and sata 3.

OKay now next question. Both boards have 6 black SATA 3GB connections and each has a WHITE SATA connection *assumingly a 3gb* is that 1 solo connection supposed to be esata? Cuz TBH thats my first guess. secondly.. if its a generic port.. i vote we all Email MSI and tell them to make all there AM3, Lga 1156/1366 boards and start putting ONE of there sata ports up near the 24 pin connector for our 5.5" bays, or for cases that have front esata ports.

The {White} is from the P55A-GD65 {SATA7/8 supported by SE9128} NOT the P55 chipset. The one up in the corner {blue} SATA9 supported by JMB363.
