SSD on P5Q Deluxe

[lazar.jovanovic2112]

If i buy Kingston A400 240gb SSD and connect it to sata 2, is that gonna be better than hard disk, anyway i have to replace it, he have alot of bad sectors and it's slow. I know the full potentional of ssd is on sata 3, but with upper limit ot sata 2,it should be alot faster than hdd?

Yes, it will cap out around 200MB/s but it still has the advantage of no seek times. So while some hard drives today could do sequential data that fast, the SSD can do a lot more random reads much faster. It is actually somewhat rare for drives to hit their upper limits in normal use.
