Good - I just wanted to make sure because it was not quite clear from your post and could have been interpreted the wrong way by someone not familiar with SSDs. I hope you don't mind.
Hard Drives themselves don't slow down. They slow down when the data on them gets fragmented. Windows 7 has automatic background defragmentation, but it's still a good idea to run your own such as Defraggler. SSD is dramatically faster than IDE/SATA though, so you really wouldn't notice a slowdown as long as you maintain your system.
