A thought on SATA3 vs 2=85even with a hardware controller, your machine may=
 not be able to effectively make use of the increased throughput. You may s=
pend a bunch of extra money and not see a significant improvement in load t=
imes, etc.

If you do buy a controller card I suggest a card by 3Ware.

When SSD drives fail they tend to fail catastrophically and without warning=
.. Make sure you have things backed up. I recommend CrashPlan.
