If you mean an internal SSD, then the drive will work like any other
type of drive ... except that the Trim* function doesn't work with
third-party drives, so you need to use an extra piece of software like
Trim Enabler or similar.

This might be the cause of the problems of the original poster as well.

* The ATA interface standard's TRIM command helps SSDs write faster
  and live longer.
