There's nothing to argue. On your motherboard all ports are eSATA compatible.

On my DH55HC only two of the 6 are eSATA compatible:

In the picture you can see 6 ports on the upper right. 4 are black, 2
are red. The two red ones are the only ones eSATA compatible.

Your machine is put together perfectly AFAICT.
