upgrade my lalptop's HDD to SSD

[thakaliboy]

Hello,
Here is some information on my laptop/HDD I use currently. Any advice on upgrading ? I plan to purchase this SSD, I haven't got it physically yet.
Laptop: ASUS NB EN N56VM-RB71-CA
http://www.ncix.com/...ucts/?sku=74585
HDD: st9750420as 750GB 2.5"
http://www.storagere...iew_st9750420as
SSD: Samsung 840 Series 250GB 2.5in SATA3 MDX Solid State Disk Flash Drive SSD
http://www.ncix.com/...ucts/?sku=77211
- Is my laptop's bios SSD compatible (The SSD specs just mentions OS), I send a technical ticket with ASUS, no response just yet.) [Intel® HM76 Chipset]
- Is there a better SSD with (120GB-250GB), faster speeds / reliability long-term, and better pricing out there (100$-250$) ?
My major points I need help on.

Get the largest Samsung Pro SSD you can afford, prob 256GB at that price range: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147193

The non-Pro Samsung SSD has sub-par write speeds (I have 2 of them).

The EVO has a 750GB and 1TB model, while the pro stops at 512.

Not sure what you mean, I didn't say anything to the contrary...and he didn't ask for something that big/expensive...

Ah, whoops, had to re-read it, didn't see his price range.

Also, unless he's doin some heavy worklloads, the only thing the pro is good for is the 5 year warranty, while the EVO has similar benchmarks to the PRO, but also has the RAPID mode which in the right conditions, almost doublesw R/W, and the turbo write algorithm which makes the SSD act as SLC when Writing/Erasing a file within its buffer range.
