SSD in Macbook Pro 13"

[MrRoyksopp]

I'm pretty much a noob about SSD's and HDD's, but from what I've read, it's possible to have both a SSD and a HDD in my 13" MBP.

So, is it possible, or have I just misunderstanded something?

You can, but you would need to remove the SuperDrive. No MacBook Pro has two hard drive slots, a 2nd would require the SuperDrive to be gone. Then get the proper adapter for it to sit in place.

Arh! Now I get it.

So, normally you just replace the HDD with a SSD?

some people do, yeah. a lot of owners that don't need a cd/dvd drive just remove it and use that space for more internal storage while still getting the speed of a ssd, as it would be much too expensive to buy one internal ssd that is large in capacity.

Thank you, now I understand

another alternative if you want to keep your optical drive is to simply replace the hdd with a low storage cheaper ssd (60-120gb) and then store your media files and the like on a simple external drive, or internal drive in an external enclosure. hope this helps.
