You can be cool, or you can be nasty, but as soon as you are one, you are not the other.

SATA1, 2 or 3 doesn't really matter--they're all backwards compatible, so a SATA3 drive will still work on a SATA1 interface, it'll just be limited to the maximum speed SATA1 provides (about 150Mbyte/sec). That's pretty darned slow by SSD standards, so you won't get as much benefit as you would if you could deploy a SATA2 or 3 drive. (Are you really sure your motherboard will only do SATA1? SATA2 was introduced in 2004, so I'd be astonished if your machine was so old it didn't support it).
Speaking personally, I've used Crucial, Toshiba and Sandisk SSDs and found them much of a muchness. 1Tb SSDs look to be around the £200-£250 range at the low end, I'd just find something there that reviews well and go with that.

using as a boot drive ?
If so Samsung decent .
But if you are going to use it for data crunching , could go the route 4TankersAndDog has .
starting @ 15:00 mark for the lead in . Should watch until he talks about the pcie adapter for the Samsung x4M.2 Enterprize 960 ssd .

He also shows testing results.
The vid is about his overall set up for streaming / editing rig because people have repeatedly asked .
