A atticus Jul 31, 2011 #1 I realize any 2.5" SSD... but looking for suggestions. Will be replacing the hard disk and won't be supplanting the optical drive.

N newguy05 Aug 2, 2011 #2 Get the intel ssd, they are the benchmark. I did it a while ago on a 15" mbp with the older intel x-25m version. Loads osx in 3sec and win7 ultimate bootcamp in <10sec. The 510 should be considerable faster than x-25m. http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Version-2-5-Inch-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B004OR0GRC

R rsi80 Aug 2, 2011 #3 Crucial M4 + Lion? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148441 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148442 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148443 The 128GB version seems to be the current sweet spot, after firmware 002 has fixed early bugs. Of course, Intel is still the undisputed first choice for reliability.
