hi i am considering doing the following: remove the optical drive from my macbook pro 13" early 2011, buy an adapter, and replace it with an SSD (only 60 GB for OS and some apps, plus i don't want to spend much money). i think i have settled on a possible SSD (Mushkin Chronos), but the only problem is it is asynchronous instead of synchronous. i have read that there is a big speed difference between the two but only noticeable in real world use. I'm just curious if its something to think about or if its something i probably won't notice and shouldn't worry about. thanks in advance :)
