Based on recommendations from the forums, I've decided the only way to make my Late 2009 Macbook usable again is to upgrade to an SSD. Any suggestions on what to look for? I'm a pretty basic user, so I don't necessarily need anything top of the line. I want to increase my storage capacity, so I'm looking at some of the 480 GB models. Here are some of the ones I'm looking at right now:

Kingston V300

OCZ Arc 100

Crucial BX100

Any thoughts? Do I need to be looking for something specifically compatible with the Macbook?

Thanks for any help!

Based on my personal experience, duck Kingston and Crucial. Running two OCZ's and never had problems with either and also consider OWC from Mac Sales:-

I've put Crucial SSDs in four Macs over the past 5 years: three MBPs and one white Macbook. Never had a day's trouble with any of them.
