SATA Enclosure

Does anyone happen to know if the Ultra ULT40443 3.5" Internal Enclosure natively supports SATA revision 3.0 (SATA 6 Gbit/s)? Done quite a bit of searching last night / this morning and can't find a definitive answer so hoping someone here has one that can give a definitive answer.
 
I guess what I'm asking is if anyone knows if the box is just straight through or if it has a SATA backplane? If it's straight through, it should work fine with SATA 6 Gbit/s. If it has a SATA backplane, it's most likely using SATA 3 Gbit/s. Just trying to figure it out for my build I'm working on. Using a crucial real ssd SATA 6 Gbit/s 64 gb for the OS drive and am looking for a cool way to mount it. Don't want to have it running at SATA 3 Gbit/s if at all possible.
 

Appreciate the link and I have seen that item but am looking for something different. Thanks.


Yes, that's it. I know it says 3/6 Gbit/s but wondering if that means it's just compatible with 6 Gbit/s and downgrade the drive to 3 Gbit/s or if it will actually run the drive at 6 Gbit/s?
 
Personally I'd go ahead and buy it. Try it, if the drives are slowed as compared to without it I should think it could be gutted. run a benchmark on the drives with and without the enclosure first.
