Hi All,
Here goes the ramble...
I have a new 15" i7 and just ordered an optibay. I have a Super Talent 256GB SSD and a Seagate 500GB 7200rpm HDD. I'm hoping for some feedback on the best way to layout and partition this setup.
I'm looking to run MacOS 95% of the time so am hoping to install Win 7 on the HDD.
I am hoping to have a 160GB partition on the HDD for Win 7. I will use the entire SSD for MacOS and want to move my Music (110GB) to another HFS partition I will create on the HDD - everything else I want to keep on the SSD.
So a few questions - is it possible to have the SSD in the primary HDD bay and the HDD in the Optibay and still boot and run Win 7 from a partition in the HDD installed in the optibay?
Does this setup make sense to those of you who have done this before?
Basically I have a 256GB SSD and want to get the most out of it in MacOS and use the HDD for Windows and storing my Music...
Any insight or advice is much appreciated...
