SSD's n00b question

Do SSD's have the same connectors (data/power) as SATA? So all that is required to change from SATA to SSD is simply a straight swap of the hard drives?

Yeah, they're the same, but bear in mind some SSDs are 2.5'', so you might need a mounting kit.

I've used velcro . It works well

Might take a pic sometime of them in case all velcro'd up.
