Samsung 850 EVO 500GB or Kingston V300 480GB should be around that price I think.

Don't get the V300! It's really bad. They've slowed down the speeds. Just get the Samsung 850

Hi there :) 

What do you use the laptop for? A SSD is a great idea since you will have your responsiveness boosted and your loading and boot times decreased. Do you need more storage space? Are you having any heavy workloads on that laptop?

I could suggest considering either a hybrid drive or a dual drive as they can give you the benefits of a SSD and a higher capacity for the price. 

WD Blue SSHD should be a good solution if you are using the laptop mainly for just a few things. It will learn waht you do and it will store the most-used files from the applications on the SSD cache for faster loading and performance while giving you more storage space in general. 

Another option would be WD Black2 which combines a 120GB SSD with a 1TB HDD in a single enclosure. Here you have complete freedom to choose what goes where (SSD or HDD) and have the best of both. :) 

Post back if you need more info!
