Here's a quick tip if no one has done it.

The newmodeus optibay hdd caddy doens't have 2 of the 3 screws that the original super drive has. This leaves the unit slightly wobbly (you can do it with your fingers on the unit).

What I did was cut a strip of business card, fold it in half and put it in the gap between the hard drive and caddy, this seems to make it tight enough.

Helps for those with vibrating 7200rpm hdds in there :)

I put my hdd in the original place and my ssd is in the optibay now. Performance is no different. Vibrations are much less as you would expect.
