Hi guys,

First of all I apologise if this is getting asked a little frequently lately, but I can't seem to find definite answers to my questions about an ssd type setup for my laptop.

1) Should I put my SSD in the HDD bay or the optibay - I read about issues having it in the optibay related to sleeping, a little clearing up there would be nice.

2) Is an optibay setup advised? Or alternatively should I just have an 80gb SSD then a 1tb external drive for my music/movies?

3) If I have 2 drives setup in my laptop, what is the best way to set it up? Do I need os x running on both? If so, how can I keep only apps and os on the ssd and data on the other.

Thanks for the advice, I'm liking some of the reviews coming out for the corsair force ssds
