re: Thinking of upgrading a 2009 MacBook Pro

It's a good SSD, but unless it's the 840 Pro, you'll have to upgrade the firmware on it. It suffered from a controller bug that caused the read speed on older files to slow down. It was fixed with new firmware, but I doubt Samsung has pulled all of their existing inventory from every vendor and applied the fix on unsold drives.
It's very easy to update (Samsung made a program that automates the process), but if you want to avoid any and all extra hassle, a safer and cheaper choice is a Crucial MX100.
