[Whitie III]

what is the best SSD for cheapest price? time to upgrade the old core 2 duo Macbook.... might be able to get by with a 256 GB SSD but what is your thoughts?

Recommendations?

I recommend a 480GB intel 530 series ssd as it has the best price vs capacity vs speed, it cost me $240AU to get one.

I'd go for a Crucial or Samsung personally.  There seem to be a few firmware bugs for the most recent drives, haven't had any issues myself but if it was my money I'd probably be leaning towards a Samsung right now.  The 850 isn't the cheapest SSD available but they're generally quite reliable and they're good performers - not so much of a consideration for an older machine as you won't get the full performance anyway, but in the future you can always move the SSD to another machine.
