Hi folks,
I would like know your experience regarding your "optibay swap" with those who replaced their DVD/CD Rom with a HD or SSD.
1. Did you have an instance where you regretted the swap? Do you miss the DVD Drive??
I am discussing this at the moment with my "CFO" if I should put a second SSD in my laptop.
If I would go this route I would have two options:
A) Replace the Intel SSD 300 Gig with an 512 or 600 Gig drive - keeping the CDROM. The smaller one would go into an external box or be saved for a future mac mini project.
B) Keep the the existing SSD in there and throw out the CDRom. Put the existing one in the Optibay and a newer larger SSD in the standard HDbay.
What would you do?
Would a faster Sata3 drive (Intel 520 model) be faster then my old Sata2 intel 320 model, even if I don#t have the sata3 controller in my "old" MBP ?
Thanks!!
