[QUOTE="wrightm, post: 1515291, member: 10753"] Hello and thanks for all of the advice. It looks like that OWC is a pretty great deal at around $500 for the 480GB drive. As mentioned, I have the macbook pro 13" 2.5 GHZ, which is like 4 years old or more I think. I saw there were two drives, the 3G and the 6G. Are they both compatible with my comp? I think I might have heard that the top speeds available on the 6G would not be usable with my older laptop. I want to get the fastest one I can, but I don't want to spend the extra money if the extra speed will be wasted on my processor. Not quite sure how this works, but any advice would be helpful. Do you think that by putting a SSD drive into my 4 years old computer (and paying $500) that it will be almost as fast/if not faster than a brand new laptop with another regular hard drive (non SSD) for $2,000.
