Either SSD should work, no problem. Connect it with a Sata3 cable to the Sata0 connector on your board.

The only selection in MB might be 3rd party sata if you have a Non-Intel sata controller. Yes you can use an HDD for data storage.

Read your motherboard's manual. If you don't have a paper copy, find it with a Google search.
