Is this a good SSD?

Better than a HDD in terms of being a boot drive, that's it. Quite slow for an SSD, that's why it's cheap (or should be cheap)

It's all about the budget. It's a cheap one but still better than a HDD. It's upto you. If you are in a tight budget you can buy a slowest SSD that will still be much faster than a HDD. :)

Faster yes, but impractically small. You can put the OS in there, but none of the apps, so the system wont be all that much faster. Rather have the 120GB A400 instead.

If you are buying an ssd get with some more sapce 64GB is just enough because when u start running it you will to add as many things as u can in it and you will run out of space!

You need a supported mobo for that. It is faster though
