Quick SSD Install question

Hi
Ive got a crucial c300 64gb arriving tomorrow, and just wondered if theres anything i should know about before installing win7 onto it. Im running an ASUS p5b, im aware that it wont do SATA3 but are there any other known issues before i go ahead and start formatting?

Cheers!

I did have some trouble with my ASUS P5E on install. I had to unplug all other drives etc and just have the SSD and one optical drive connected with ACHI as i kept getting A BSOD.

I'm having all sorts of issues with mine, it certainly isn't plug and go for me
