Installed a 250gb Samsung 840 SSD (non-Pro) in my early 2011 15" Macbook Pro. My first SSD and the difference is incredible. It feels like a new machine.
Read/Write speeds are exactly as advertised (250 write, 500 read).
Like Srcampana, however, I'm getting some bizarre battery usage. After the initial boot up, my MBP indicated 2:26 battery life off a full charge (normally this would be ~7hrs with my stock 5400rmp HDD). Estimated battery life would drop ~10 minutes every minute or two.
Resetting the SMC and PRAM seem to have helped a bit, but I'm still not seeing what I used to see. Light web browsing off a full charge shows about 5:00 hours battery life now. Anybody else experiencing this, or know of a way to fix it?

Here is my current Activity Monitor, fyi. As I'm sitting here reading the forum, 6% drop in 12 minutes. Not awesome.
