Yes, SSDs transfer data much faster than HDDs irrespective of the controller's interface speed.
Yes, a properly installed and operated SSD will function faster than a run of the mill HDD. But the cost per GB on the SSD is still quite high, compared to the HDD. So you and your wallet get to decide what's important, speed or space. And yes, hybrid HDDs with speedy 7200RPM spindles and large buffers get almost as fast as slowish SSDs, so the decision is not exactly clearcut.
Howdy, Prof!
