    I just got my first MBP 15" antiglare (October 2011), which of these SSDs do you recommend I should go with?

    All are 256GB.

    Vertex 4, Samsung 830, or Crucial M4?

    I would recommend the samsung 830 first and then the crucial m4 - for reliability even though the vertex 4 can be fast ...i dont trust ocz anymore[

    I bought a crucial m4 for my 2011 macbook pro and it works like a charm.
