Looking through the "installation guide", it shows a USB > SATA cable to use it for data migration. Do I need that or can I just connect it via internal sata port and do the migration that way from the old drive to the new 120GB?

Also, what do I need to look out for when doing the drive cloning? I currently have a Crucial 60GB SSD as my boot drive and am upgrading to this Samsung 120GB SSD.

Either way works.

Just make sure to expand the partition size. If you don't, you will have a 60 GB partition, and the remainder will be left as unpartitioned space.
Just read their downloadable PDF file on their site. I can't properly link to it since I am currently on mobile.
