The hard drive is on a SATA 6G port. The DVD is on SATA 3G.

Anyone?
So this means that if I want to get full SSD speed, I need to connect it on HDD port, right? I was planning to buy a DVD caddy :/

That means I will need to learn how to disaasmble the case then :/ I'll use the caddy for the regular hdd in that case. Thanks again..
With a hard drive, no. With a solid state drive, absolutely.
Yes, that is correct - the SSD needs to replace the hard drive.
is the speed difference that obvious in practice?

Thank you, I'll follow the instructions carefully, and maybe some videos on youtube.
This system doesn't make it easy to replace the hard drive:
