Hey everyone I just finished installing my SSD with a HDD caddy. I was wondering if anyone would help me set up my HDD as an external hard drive. i've already used CCC to clone everything from my hard drive to my SSD. I've read some guides on how to do this but most of them aren't very clear.
 
I don't understand, if you have used a caddy aren't both the SSD and HDD in the machine?

If just the SSD is in the machine and the HDD is in an external caddy via USB then once you are happy with the SSD you can format and re-use the HDD or you can keep it as a backup clone of the SSD and if you ever need it clone back.
