Accidently installed my SATA 3 SSD on a SATA 2 port.

Hello,

I've just ran a user benchmark PC test and it gave me this result:

"The boot partition is located on a SATA 3.0 SSD but it's only operating at SATA 2.0 speeds. This can happen when the drive has been inadvertently plugged into a SATA 2.0 port."

Is it possible to just plug it to a sata 3 port without having to do anything special? And what kind of difference should I experience by correcting the mistake.

Thanks

btw...my SSD is an Adata S510 120GB
