SSD for MacBook 7,1?

[Craftybanana]

Hey guys, looking for an SSD for my MacBook 7,1, 2.4ghz.

I'm no expert with SSDs so does anyone have any recommendations for me? The minimum size I want is 250gb and my budget is £500 ($800).

I've read the topics and have found two SSD drives, which take my fancy.

In terms of performance, which would be more ideal?

Did you consider going the optibay route? you could get 40gb intel 320 or 60gb vertex 2 to replace your superdrive for under $130.

I use my superdrive quite often so that would be a big no no.

But thanks for the suggestion ;')
