If you're planning on using the 60GB drive as cache for a hard drive, then the SATA version doesn't really matter because hard drives tend to not even saturate first generation SATA, especially in random accesses. If you're going ot join it with your current SSD, don't. It's inferior in performance anyway.

I hope that old Vertex Plus doesn't have any issues. Old Sandforce drives, especially OCZ's old ones, were generally very unreliable.

Using an SSD as a cache drive for an SSD improves nothing.
Using a SATA II SSD as a cache drive for a SATA III SSD slows the whole thing down.

Just toss the 60GB in there as another drive. Use it for working docs, scratch space for your imaging or video application, something like that.
