Hmmmm, no.  4 SATA2 connectors and 1 SATA3 (I think)

You mean transfer rate, correct? As in 3Gbit/sec?  The SATA2 ports should
support a drives that can handle up to 3Gbit/sec burst rate, the SATA3 port
should handle 6Gbit/sec

Since 6 Gb/s is the SATA3 standard, make sure that the drive you find
supports that standard.  Then make sure you plug it to the correct
connector to get the SATA3 speed.
