Based on OP’s edit, that looks correct. Unless OP checks the topology and can make the claim that drives from the main chipset are the slow ones, secondary chipset drives will tend to perform slower, and the ASMedia ASM1061 has several reports online of poor to trash performance compared to baseline.

Best bet if the full performance is necessary out of every drive would be finding a decent quality PCI-E SATA III riser card that doesn’t use a known flawed driver chip rather use the two ‘extra’ ports on the motherboard.
