I'm currently running Vista Home Premium (64 bit) on a SATA 1 TB drive.

I'm going to be getting either this or this as SSD prices seem to have come down slightly making thrm more affordable (at least for these 2 drives!)

The first SSD drive is more expensive than the second and has less storage but is supposed to be faster according to the stats.

Would this extra speed be noticeable in everyday use?

I have never used a SSD drive or had a dual-boot PC before so I am wondering if I need to unplug my current Vista SATA drive so that Windows 7 will be installed on my SSD drive?

Would this make a dual-boot PC once the SATA drive is plugged back in after the Windows 7 installation has been completed?
 
I think to keep Vista and install windows 7 on the SSD would need you to keep the 1TB drive plugged in. I may be wrong however.
