I'm getting close to upgrading my late 2009 27" i5 with an SSD and I wanted to find out what people are recommending for an SSD. I upgraded my old C2D MacBook last year to a 128GB Crucial SSD which worked great, but I'm leaning towards something like the OCZ Vertex 3 128GB this time. I'm planning on keeping the 1TB drive in it's bay, hoping to remove the SuperDrive instead.

Does anyone have any recommendations on what to use to mount the SSD in the SuperDrive bay? Are there any relatively cheap mounting options? I already know about the MCE OptiBay option, but it's not cheap and they don't specifically mention if they are compatible with the iMacs.

Thanks!
