Anyone put an SSD into a macbook pro?
I just got a 256GB Crucial M4 for my MBP 2009
not ashamed to admit i'm quite excited by the prospect of what's an essentially new laptop (read 500MB/s ) !

I've done it in a Macbook - don't forget to sort out your startup disk configuration as otherwise you'll be scratching your head (I didn't realise I had to do this and wondered why my system slowed down!!)
In the end my boot up from power to useable state went from about 50 seconds to 8/9 seconds - best upgrade ever !!!
Mine was a late 2008 Aluminium Macbook
As above - see what max speed your bus supports - either way you'll get a big speed increase but it may be limited to your bus.

it says revision 0009 on the SSD, so that's a worry sorted out.
I will be installing from scratch - my girlfriend was using it and it's got subversion, apache and all sorts of web crap on it.
i shall install a fresh copy of Lion on it.

The 0309 firmware fixes a problem when the drive stops working after 5,000 hours. The 0009 version gives a big performance increase
