Thanks UtNorris for your thoughts,
I've since posted/read much more widely & there's many who've had completely different assertions to the ones made here.
As one brief e.g: many suggested staying well away from Sandforce-based, especially for Macs/Macbooks of my gen.
Placed an order on Amazon for the Extreme II, be mighty annoyed if it doesn't work but there's a dearth of info anywhere.
Called Sandisk & they can't help as their SSD experts are only available from 8am-2pm AEST, supposedly they'll call tomorrow or maybe later today.
At least Amazon usually has a pretty generous return policy, even for us Aussies...
When it comes to SATA III, the Extreme II's at (or very near) the top overall performance-wise, despite that price is still very decent.
It's overkill for ~90% of usage on that machine, but that machine will be sold this year & the drive salvaged.
The other thing that worries me is that it uses an odd form-factor, it's quite a bit smaller than standard 2.5" & even with the spacer it's loose in some Macs/MacBooks.
But my machine's not a MacBook so it's not like it's being moved around much, if at all...
