A few more words about performance – if you want really a great boost of performance out of your SSD, you could use software disk caching solutions like those made by SuperSpeed (with deferred writing) to use a part of your RAM as a disk cache (which helps to overcome apparently insufficient (even in enterprise SSD and HDD products) RAM cache sizes).
For optimal performance (which may even exceed the disk limits) it is advised to allocate about 256M of cache per 32GB of your HDD/SDD if you are using software with frequent random R/W I/O operations with small portions of data. The only disadvantage would be an increased risk of losing your data because of software/system failures or power loss (DO NOT RUN ANY LOW-LEVEL DISK MAINTENANCE SOFTWARE ON SUCH DISKS/VOLUMES !).
