Wrong. ESXi DOES like 6gbit/s ports, but only those that are part of supported chipsets. Your motherboard is of desktop-type. Very probably it is not on VMware HCL and quite naturally, not all of its features are supported. You are lucky at least some ports work...

BTW are you aware of performance implications? With sata rev. 2.0 (3gbit) you can get theoretically ~300MB/s true pefromance (8/10bit encoding). But today's SSD can do much more. I do not know what Samsung SSD you use, but i.e. 840pro or 840evo can do >500MB/s in both reading and writing. Of course, only when attached to sata rev 3.0 (6gbit). If you attach such a SSD to sata 2.0 (3gbit), it is like artificial performance-brake...
