what about the white Macbook?
do you think the Optical Bay Hard Drive Caddy would fit in my macbook (mid 2007)
Thanks in advance,

Thanks in advance,
this guy has no idea.....
make one or buy one from new newmodeus.com
those ones he points out are too thick and WILL NOT fit.
no sorry, the 2007 one has a diffrent connector, you must have a optical sata connector, yours has the older OBHD connector you will have to buy one from newmodus.com which is cheap....$40.
What are people's opinions about which drive, SSD and HDD, to put in the OptiBay, and which drive to leave in the regular place? Better to have SSD in the OptiBay because of better connection?
Also, what are the most important things to put on the SSD? Make it the startup disk (is this possible if it's in the location of the optical drive?)? Put the Applications Folder on it? Anything else that's critical for making the computer run faster?
Thanks!
I'll usually place the SSD in the optical bay. Because there's no moving parts in the SSD hence I do not have to worry if the SSD falls off or something.
I boot up from my ssd that is connected to the optical bay's sata port. As for my harddisk, it acts like a storage for my songs and files.
What's really cool about it is that one only needs a relatively small SSD if one has a second hard drive in the same computer. 64 GB should be plenty. This way one can buy higher quality and faster SSD. Do you agree? Seems like such a waste of money to buy e.g. a 500 GB SSD instead of the main drive (for those who leave the optical drive in).
im wondering, whats the point of having SSD if your stuff on HDD is going to be crippled by the HDD speed?
Funny they are both 9.5mm thick

It doesn't look gorgeous and factory on the inside. Can't do it.

I think the idea is to store files on the HDD, and store applications on the SSD? For example, have iPhoto on the SSD, but the Pictures folder on the HDD? I'm not sure how much having to read the pictures from the HDD slows down things though. I'm guessing not that much? Also, how do I tell the computer where what is stored?
Ok, I've got the Newmodeus for a MBP 13". (it's the right one)
I've read that there's some mod you need to do to it. It looks pretty much straight forward but I'd rather not totally F**K everything up if I can avoid it.
Anyone want to help me out here?
BTW( I've been using the SATA cable HD/DVD mod swap but decided to clean things up so I know that part of it. I just need to know what part of the case needs trimming, if any)
do not modify it,
just screw the 1 screw in it, and a small peice of double sided tape on the top to make sure its not going to move around.
i would not modify the newmodeus adapter at all.
hope this helps, i can give you pictures on my install if you like, bugout already posted some great ones in this thread.
