Satellite P745 doesn't have neither an mSATA slot nor an M.2 slot
Your only choice is the 2.5" HDD slot

Need your help whether my motherboard only has 1 or 2 port for 6gbs and it is necessary to update the BIOS?

For the 2nd screenshot, it's show there's two port of 6gbs but the 1st screenshot only show 1.

sandy bridge should have 2x sata3 ports. you should look at sata ports instead of sata host controller. in your case it's likely that the current hardware (hdd, dvdrom?) limit the current sata speed (hardware that run at sata2 speed only), hence you saw
my current hdd (boot) is using sata2 while the dvdrom convert to caddy is using sata3.

i only wanted to change the hdd (boot) to ssd while the caddy remain as it is.

is it possible to change the sata3 back to hdd (boot)?

the reason why i said you have sata2 hardware limiting max speed of existing sata3 ports was because in your first image, it showed that both current interface speed were at sata2. that means your hdd and dvdrom/caddy actually runs at sata2 speed.

yes you can replace the hdd with ssd, and i think the new ssd should run at sata3 speed.

i don't get the last question.
tq for the info. appreciate it.

according to specs here, https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-...specifications/ yes you can use this m.2 sata ssd on one of the m.2 slots.
consult your mobo manual the location of the sata_1 port, because if you plugged in a sata hdd on that port, the hdd will not work.
