using it for the original HDD.still not going to run apps off it, music and backup mainly. Keep in mind a USB drive caddy is at 420Mbits/sec (52.5MB/s) transfer speed when you throw a 3Gb/s or 6GB/s drive in there capable of pushing 375-750MB/s you limiting the drive to the USB 2.0 speed. Thunderbolt enclosures are expensive (right now), you have to lug it around when a data doubler will keep your storage and speed in one unit. Their benchmark speeds are great (real world probabbly no difference) I was like WOW ~$250 for an SSD and data doubler (256GB), WOW thats Expensive, but when you add the $59 + a 179 OCZ or 199 crucial or $214 Samsung, then your almost at the same price if not more. But by OP's original message, it was simply "What do you all have in your Macbooks for an SSD" ie - Cheap or least money possible, or you have a "budget" of $300 to spend. Budget meaning.the amount you have to spend.
