Looks like a good deal on a name-brand Samsung 250GB SSD for $150.
I'm not up to speed on the specific models, but I bet it's fine.
EDIT: from an excellent retailer, too - Newegg.
Decent deal - Samsung Series 840, $149. - RAMd®d - 02-09-2013
I paid $180 for a CrucIal 256G in June of last year.
Have you checked out the comments at Newegg? I haven't seen anything that says it won't work with Macs. Have you checked out the comments at Newegg?

Height: 7mm
Shouldn't be a problem as for the size.
Be aware that at the current time, Samsung only offers
Winbloz firmware flashing warez. No Linux or OS X.
So, if the drive requires an update, you have to pull it and
flash in a PeeCee.
btw, Samsung has caught a lot of flack over their lame flashing support,
so maybe they'll change their ways and join the 21st century :damnyou:
