No boot sound after SSD and HDD upgrade

[abcdefg12345]

i have a macbook pro 13 inch early 2011 and i installed an OWC 120gb mercury electra SSD in main drive bay and used the data doubler to install 1TB HDD in instead of the optical drive and everything is working fine except that i noticed that when i turn it on i don't hear the sound i used to hear before when i used to turn it on

i used to hear some sort of mechanical sound when i turn it on (not the HDD sound) but now all i hear when i press the power button is the HDD starting to spin and then.

is it normal, like did the sound i used to hear come from the optical drive and now that it isn't there the sound is gone or did i mess something up in the installation

It was the optical drive you heard before. Long as it's all working properly now you have nothing to worry about.

thanks just had to make sure didn't mess anything up and also do you know how to stop the hard drive from spinning up every few minutes i used "sudo pmset -a disk sleep 1" to make it spin down after 1 minute but it keeps spinning back up every about 5 minutes

What is on the HDD? If the OS needs it, it will spin up.

The HD has two partitions 1 running os x yosemite and the other windows 8.1 so the os decent need it.

after quitting iStat menus the problem got fixed so i guess its getting spun up because iStat was monitoring some of its activity

Can I borrow this thread to ask you if you have any pictures of inside of the mbp when you installed both disks, because I am planing to do the same thing. Did u also install any disk stander-like component to hold the disk or how did you manage to make it all happen? I also wonder if the performance was improved or not? I was losing my mind yesterday while doing project in imovie, even virtual machine doesnt work well for me, so upgrade is a must for me.. I have mbp early 2011 (4gb ram..)
