I don't understand the question in as much as there is no choosing which USB ports are faster than others. They all work at the same speed as long as they are the same USB spec.

I am going to connect two external hard drives usb3.0, and I need to copy one of them in the other one. To have the complet speed in which ports must I connect it? (I hear than the speed of some of the ports is a chip hub and the speed is half and half if you connect two hard drives in this ports)

The USB signal on the rear panel USB 3.0 ports are from the chipset. Now I am not sure that equates with only being able to use half the bandwidth between them and if also using the front panel ports will give any more speed. :-\ I would advise confirming that with GGTS:
