Well, from what I've read, people said that the performance on Intel chipset is better than the Jmicron chipset.
If I were you, I'd plug the SATA hdd to the orange (Intel), then after you install your OS of choice, install HD Tach and HDD Tune to see the performance number. Then shutdown the PC, hook it up to the purple. boot up, and run those two progiez again and see which one is faster. That's what I did to my DS3 =)
I have some screen capture :

this one is my 1x74GB Raptor on Jmicron chipset: link
People have been saying the JMicron ports give better performance. I'll test this on my system too when I get home.
