I saw post mentioned SSD has to plug into the "native" SATA 3 port in order to have the best performance while not every SATA 3 port on the motherboard is native. I am not sure what is the different between native and non native.
Native Sata 3 means the sata 3 port is ran by the chipset and not a add in chip. Like Z77 boards have i think 6 native sata and then 4 more add in ports. The add in ports arn't as reliable and sometimes slower then the native chipset ports.

Yes, any of the four SATA ports will work.
The SSD will be backward compatible with the SATA 3.0 Gb/s speeds.
It will just not run as fast as on a board with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports.

I plan to just buy wd single plate blue hdd since my motherboard doesnt suopport ncq amd sata2 only. Dont feel good buying ssd and have like 80% performance.
