Installed the 840 pro 256GB in wife's mid 2009 MPB.
Getting 204mb/sec writes, 256mb/sec reads, consistent with the interface on this machine.
I am pissed that there is no firmware upgrade tool for mac. That is crap and I wouldn't have bought it had I known that in advance. Firmware updates are important for SSD and for them not to support mac computers, well we should not support them.
So although this works fine thus far, I would advise others to look elsewhere to a company that actually supports mac.
Sandisk Extreme SSD with the r211m firmware update does the job with ease. 194 writes/263 reads at 3.0gb.
