Do SSD drives generally work without trouble on MBP?

Thinking about buying the Corsair performance 128gb ssd. Is switching over from the 5400 HD usually pretty smooth and easy, or am I opening another can of worms by starting down this path? I just want less noise from clicking HD and a little faster speed.

SSD's work great on laptops. No moving parts, lightning fast read speeds.

Be careful with the whole 1.7 Firmware thing. It is worth the risk IMO.

Do you have to format the new SSD drive once you insert it into the computer, as with all drives. I mean format it for Mac?

They work great!

Yes, you'll need to format the drive first using the disk utility during the OS installation. It's a "quick format (a.k.a. erase)" actually...
