    its more or less a generic SSD, as for speed its in the average to below average speed especially with the new Indellix and Sandforce based units.

    as for SLC vs MLC, that is still an ongoing debate.

    as for the drive you linked to Memoright has moved to a sandforce based MLS SSD unit. and please note your link is from 2008. it by no way shows what is in the current MBP's

    All current MBP's I have had my hands on use a midrange Samsung or Toshiba MLC drive, all of the 256GB's have been Toshibas that I have personally seen.

    if it's SLC that explains why it's a 300$ upgrade...

    I wish apple would make it MLC and a 100$ upgrade.

    that was from 2008, all apples current drives ARE MLC now. only SLC I have seen direct from a manufacturer are in some of the Elitebooks and the Panny CF-31
