Assuming you are using the Intel Z68 (gray) SATA3 ports then both interfaces are running in SATA3 (6Gb/s).

The 'best' verification is to bench the SSD, anything >300MB/s is indeed SATA3 (6Gb/s).

I recommend ATTO, most SSD's max R/W's are from ATTO testing; link - http://www.attotech.com/products/product.php?sku=Disk_Benchmark

There are apps that detect 'interface' but both interfaces must be listed as (e.g. SATA III), the obvious and reassuring verification is surpassing 300MB/s (SATAII limits).
