More details about specific identifiers are provided in 's extensive Mac Identification section. I have a OCZ Vector in my Mini and have had good luck with it, but unfortunately their main-line drives currently don't reduce power consumption when idle (very important for laptops) (the Trion, which does reduce power consumption isn't very good for the price). Likewise, the non-Retina Display 15-Inch 'Mid-2012' MacBook Pro models - which support 6.0 Gb/s SATA 3.0 - can be identified by the MacBookPro9,1 model identifier. For the price that a Samsung, a SanDisk Ultra or a Crucial BX100 goes (around the same price), I don't know that you want to go for the cheaper econo drives. My MBP is not my primary computer so I figured what the heck.
For a 512 GB drive, it's not proportionately as large but the difference is still $63.
Considering the drive itself was $78 (it's a few dollars more now), that's a big difference. Then, and still now, there was a $45 difference (on Amazon) between the EVO and the Pro but yes, you do see a fair amount of people who have drives that have died early (didn't look at the Pro to see if there were similar issues). I bought a couple of the EVO 250 GB drives when I got my refurb 2012 MBP a couple of weeks ago. ViperGTS, I see your MBP's peformance issues have driven you here.
