I have installed Linux Lite on several older machines with varying SATA controllers, meaning SATA2 and SATA3; no problems at all.
I have used only quality SSDs from Samsung and/or Crucial; no problems at all.
If the original system drive was full with whatever I moved data to a classic HDD and installed the system on a low priced 100 or 120GB SSD. Tody I saw on Newegg a 120GB Samsung 850 for $69.
This makes even 8 to 10 years old boxes run like brand new champs! Okay, I see that these old boxes have 2 or 4GB of RAM, I admit.
Go for it!
