Hi! Are there any compatible, trouble free 200-300 GB SSDs for my MacBook 13" i5 made in March 2011? I've been searching the forum without any results. Thanks!

Crucial M4, Samsung 470 are 100% trouble-free

Intel 320 has a firmware bug will be sorted out this month hopefully.
Vertex 3 max IOPS seems to have a better track record than the regular one,but it's not "trouble fre""

The Crucial M4 is plagued with issues. I bought one, kept getting spinning wheels every 15 minutes or so, returned it.

Take a look through the Crucial forums for other multi-page discussions of the M4 and MBPs!

Thank you all for answers. Philflow: I've read that compatibility depends on time of production and model size, and therefore made a seperate thread. ec1990ho and moxxey: I guess it is safest to go for the Intel 320 when the firmware bug is fixed, then.
