Q:

What are some tips for replacing my MacBook Pro hard disk with SSD?

I would like to replace my MacBook pro hard disk with an SSD, without reinstalling everything. I am looking for your experience on

good SSD drive models that have good performance at a fair price
the relocation strategy so that I get my old system migrated with no trouble or pain from the old hard drive to the new one (including additional hardware needed, I guess a usb-sata connector)

A:

Allow me to recommend you the OWC ones. You have an “extreme RE” (which I believe you won’t need) and the Pro, which is arguably one of the fastest and most secure drives so far. 
I’m sure you can google for comparisons with other drives but I’ve installed a various numbers of SSDs (albeit not only in Macbooks) and the OWC ones are what I’ve chosen for me. 
Jeff Atwood himself made a comparison (but he didnt include the OWC at the time), which you can find in this blog post.
Don’t forget to read through the comments, as there’s value in there too. 
I’d say that excluding the OWC (which I prefer), the Crucial C300 should be the next in line.
