If you have to pay a little more to get a compatible drive it's well worth it. OWC has a line of 3Gb drives that are more expensive but guaranteed to work Probably the BEST way to avoid is to find a 3Gb SSD or a 6Gb SSD that is guaranteed to work in your Macbook.
EDIT : After my research, looks like the Crucial M500(Marvell 88SS9187), BX200 (SM2256) are safe picks for the iMac 9,1. Confused yet? I think the bottom line is that we're putting 2015 (ok 2016) technology into 2009 computers and in computer terms that 6 year span is huge, there may be incompatibilities. For instance, someone reported SATA I speed on his iMac 9,1 (early 2009) and someone else reported SATA III on his 10,1 (late 2009) with the same Crucial BX300 which use the same Marvell 88SS1074 controller as the Kingston UV400. Transend is using what they call a TS6500 which is actually a rebranded SiliconMotion SM2246EN controller and I can't find evedience either way if it will work at SATA 3Gb speed with the Nvidia controller. The conflict I'm aware of for sure is with SSD's using a Sandforce controller but recently someone posted on here about their drive with a Marvell controller only running at half speed so there may be others. quietly unveiled without a press release, the apple macbook 'core 2 duo' 2.0 13-inch (white - early 2009/nvidia) features a 45 nm 'penryn' 2.

Your Macbook has an Nvidia MCP79 3Gb/s SATA controller and there's a conflict between the controllers on some 6Gb/s SSD's that will only allow them to run at SATA 1.5Gb/s so you have to be careful. Apple Computer, Mac Pro Quad Core 2.66/2.93/3.33 GHz, Mac Pro Eight Core 2.26/2.66/2. I have an early 2009 Macbook and put a Samsung (pre Evo) 840 SSD into it and the speed is amazing, it feels like a brand new computer.
