I have a few questions if you don't mind. Here's my intended set up:
2012 13" MBP. I'm planning on getting an OWC SSD and upgraded memory to install day one. However, I need more space than 240GB. Therefore, I plan to use an HDD in the optical drive.

1. Can Window 7 be boot camped from the HHD while I leave OSX on the SSD? I need/use Windows about 5% of the time...but have to have it. Performance on the Windows side is not a necessity. I need to allocate about 100GB to Windows.

2. If I use the HDD for my iTunes library and iPhoto library, will those files get backed up using Time Machine if OSX is on the SSD?

3. Finally, will having photo libraries on the HDD negate the benefits of having an SSD when using iPhoto. Currently, my iPhoto lags significantly...I have thousands of photos, projects, etc.

Thanks in advance,

Cosmo
