SSD Help?

I am thinking about putting a solid state hard drive in my Macbook pro (2011 model 13 inch). I know how to use computers very well but i am a newbie in putting hardware in it. I want to put an SSD in there and i was thinking about buying the 2.5 inch corsair force GT SATA III. is this a good brand? any suggestions on a good brand or SSD that would work well in a macbook?

Have you checked out stuff from OWC?:

OWC Mercury Pro SSD - Solid State Drives using High Performance SandForce Processor solution

They usually have good stuff.

Thanks Nick! i will check into that

I installed the OWC Mercury Pro SSD in my Late 2008 MBP. The difference is amazing. Easy to install also. Many HOW TO videos on the web. I think OWC even has a How to Video on their site. Will install one in my Mac Pro at a later date.

If I may make a suggestion. Think about if you use your Superdrive much. if not OWC also sells a kit to replace the Superdrive with that SSD so you can have both the Speed of the SSD and that space of the standard drive if you need it.

That is what I plan on doing if and when I get a Macbook

Then Just use a USB dvd drive for the few times you will need to.

Yeah that would be nice but that enclosure to put in the super drive bay is another 99.99 bucks, i only use 60gb of my 320gb right now so 120gb would be sufficient. Plus i use my CD drive. But if that works for you and your macbook then that would be awesome.
