Your board has 4x SATA ports, 2 x SATA 3Gb/s port(s), (dark brown) and 2 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), (yellow). You should move the HDD's to the dark brown ports and have your SSD populating one of the two yellow ports to take advantage of the speed of an SSD.

Speaking of which, what is your budget? What capacity in the SSD are you looking at? Where are you located? What is your preferred site of purchase?
You should look into 2.5" form factor SSD's.

Yeah definitely move the drive to the 6GB/s ports AND make sure you have a 6GB SATA cable for the hard drive, or else you WON'T get the full speed. I had similar issue when I built a machine using an H81M-E and did not have the correct cable, so I kept getting performance issues.
