Just installed a 240GB Vertex 2 in my mid 2009 MBP (FW version 1.29). No freezes/hiccups so far. :)

It wakes from sleep just fine, but I haven't had the battery run down far enough to test hibernation yet.
 
Another was to turn the Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS) off (use Terminal and: sudo pmset -a sms 0).

That part makes sense for any SSD.. It's overhead that's not needed. Since it's designed to park the heads on a HDD in the event of sudden motion and SSD's obviously have no heads.

I might go for the 240 GB Vertex 2 now (was considering the Vertex 3 first). Everything still going smoothly?
