Anyone have experience installing the hard drive on the macbook themselves? Is it fairly straight forward?

Also, what is the best bang for the buck for a 2.5" hard drive right now? Is it worth to get an SSD?

TIA

EDIT: I've seen Kingston 240gb ssds go for $100, but also have seen 1TB 2.5HDD go for $100... so your pick
