Risks of SDD in main & HDD in Optibay?

[2Turbo]

I would like to install a 1tb HDD in the optibay to compliment my Apple 128GB SSD.

Do you guys recommend this, or will I have problems because this setup isn't official from apple? Sleep problems, problems w/storing files between drives??

I'm not sure which 1TB HDD has a built in motion sensor? Anyone know?

You can do that, but the issue is that a 1TB drive will not fit in the optibay. The biggest drive that will fit there is 750GB, due to thickness.

Wait, are you absolutely sure that you cannot buy a bracket that accepts 12.5mm height hdd's? I thought I heard of people does this before

There are talks about the optibay having SMS after all, so if you're HDD fits, you're good to go

The normal hard drive bay will take a 12.5mm drive, however, the optibay will not, due to the keyboard, speakers, etc.

Dang, thanks for the help tho. Was looking forward to that much space + SSD speed.

Guess 750gb it is, or wait for 2.5 1tb drives due later this year maybe.
