Crucial M4 is 100.5 x 69.85 x 9.50 mm
Samsung 830 is 100 x 69.85 x 7 mm

I'd probably go for the Samsung 830 as its as good if not better and i'm sure theres a deal at the moment where you get a copy of the latest Assassins Creed game chucked in.

Edited, nope: Samsung bundles Assassin's Creed III with SSD 840 Pro to spark a sales revolution, ships the 840 line -- Engadget its the 840 Pro so a bit expensive, I'd stick with the 830/Norton Ghost bundle.

I have a 512Gb Samsung 830 in my Dell laptop, works a treat. Not sure of the dimensions though.

Which SSD for 13" MacBook Pro?

I have a 2011 MBP with a 320GB HDD, I am coming to the limit as to what I want to keep on here so looking for a new HDD, so thought might as well look for a SSD, space wise I think 512GB will be more than enough and these are about £300.

Does anyone have any experience of upgrading their HDD to an SSD for a MBP? Is there any thing I should look for, or really lazy can anyone recommend one for me, am looking at the Crucial m4?
