Is it possible to upgrade the HDD to a SSD drive?

I recently brought a new 13" macbook pro, model no-A1278. It shipped with a 320 GB (5200 RPM) HDD. Can i upgrade it to a SSD drive ?

yes you can. you dont need a special connector or anything. any standard sata 2.5" ssd drive work natively. the corsair realSSD is the best i've seen, since its a sata-III drive, and your shiny new macbook pro just happens to ship with a sata-III port! those are expensive though, and honestly, in real life situations, you wont notice the speed difference between it and say, a cheapo kingston SSDNow, which you can probably find on ebay or amazon for like $150 (128gb)

Yes, if you get the right connector. The 240GB Vertex 2 SSD would be my first choice.

Also This Drive is a good choice as well. (just be sure that the dimensions fit)

I've read on forums that the intel SSD X25 is the best choice. Google it, it has the same connector as the standard HD. It costs $215 and its 120GB.
