Alright. I just got a 15" Unibody MBP (late-2008) with a 320GB HDD.
I also purchased a 128GB SSD, but I'm afraid that won't be enough as my only HDD.
So, I'm considering the Optibay.
A few questions:
1. What does it look like from the outside? Does it just look like there's your standard slot-loading drive right there? Nothing weird, right?
2. How difficult is the install? I've done some google-ing. But it looks like you just take off the bottom case, remove your SD, and install the optibay. Sounds simple enough....
3. Will I run into any problems partitioning BOTH drives for Windows and OSX? I'd like to use the SSD, in the Optibay, as a boot drive for both OSs. Then the 320GB, partitioned, to save in both OSs.
4. Does installation void your warranty with Apple?
5. Finally, is there anywhere cheaper to buy it from MCEs site?
Thank you!!
