I'm planning to buy the Corsair Force GT 120GB (CSSD-F120GBGT-BK) and I'm planning to use it with an older motherboard that doesn't support AHCI (ASUS P5K SE).

Will I experience any problems when running this SSD in IDE mode? A slight performance drop is acceptable.

EDIT

See my answer below. Conclusion: It works great.

Follow the discussion here: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?p=570829#post570829

So far so good.
