About to order parts for my MBP 13" and looking to see if there any last minute suggestions:

External DVD Burner (bad internal)
2nd HDD
HDD Caddy

Any input would be great, looking at ordering soon, since besides a SSD this is the only other upgrade I can do.

How about bumping the RAM to 16GB?

Done 🙂 Actually was one of the first things I did after I got the MBP. Only other thing I can do is throw an SSD in, however until prices come down on the 512gig to what I can consider a reasonable amount I will put it off.

It'll be at least another 5 years before SSD prices drop to that of HDD prices.
