The psu is something i would change with that age on it.Just out of precaution.If you think it works fine is it up to you to keep using it.
I say this because of things like these in that spec list,

Quote:

MTBF: 50,000 hours at 25°C
Peak Power: 650W->sounds nice,but Stable Power: 400W
Efficiency: 70% Min, at full load 230VAC/50Hz

this doesn't help with me feeling confident about this psu.

Sure,why not? It has 8 sata ports,of which 6 are supported by the intel chipset alone.
The ssd might be best run of this:"Marvell 9128 chip:2 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors" (probably the grey ones). Also is it possible that the chipset ports in the end just do better.You would need to test that with hd-tune or something like that
