Late 2011 MBP 17 - Best SSD Setup?

[fraser87uk]

Hey guys and gals,

I have searched the forums to no end to try and find a definitive answer and also a guid to both:

- What SSD to choose
- Where to install it

I want to use my current 750gb drive as a secondary in the machine alond with a 256gb SSD as my boot drive.

What is the best way to do this in my machine?

Thanks in advance.

I would install the SSD in the Main HDD Bay and your stock HDD in the Optibay.

These links may help you decide which SSD to choose and Optibay.
