    assuming you have a normal hard drive, yes. Much faster. Also, SATA is merely the interface in which the data travels between the hard drive and the motherboard. so, in essence, the Solid state drives are also SATA.

    All the information you seek is in the articles below. Enjoy.

    Feel free to ask any questions if need be

    EDIT: The New SSD Thread is probably your best place to start.
