Make sure you use/have a good controller, there has been issues with performance and SSD's ( Check SSD manf/type and compatability with your hardware, for example if your mobo has a JMicron controller ). Do yourself a favor and scour the forums before you purchase a SSD as there has been recalls and needed updates a plenty as its still developing ).
If you connect your SSD via a standard SATA, you are shortchanging yourself as your transfer rate wont be optimum. That is, if you get a SSD SATA 3, but your mobo only supports SATA I or II, you SSD SATA 3 will only perform at the SATA I or II level...still faster in most cases than standard HDD's, but a pretty hard performance loss by connecting via a older SATA type.
