Hey everyone, I'm new to mac. My very first macbook pro 15" laptop for college next week, I'm studying to be a digital art major. I do not have a SSD on my 15", but it does have the i5 core. I am looking to getting a SSD in the near future. Perhaps next year, for my almost second year in college. I'm kinda looking more at the price range of $100 - $400. What are the recommendations? And is there a website I can look or order? I'm not sure where to start since I'm new to this. Anyone know how to install it as well? I tried mroogle for this but didn't get much result that I'm looking for. Any digital art students or teachers out there or someone interested in this field as well with a 15"?
 
Don't use kingston hahaha. In 6 months to a year or so we may be seeing a 160 GB ssd for $200, something that is currently $400. OCZ, Intel, SanDisk, and Samsung, to name a few, are all trusted names, but OCZ seems to be the best value (while still being a reliable drive) and Intel seems to be the best quality.
