I'm buying a 2011 MacBook Pro 13-inch.

I plan to having an SSD as the boot drive and an HDD as the storage drive (replacing the CD Drive with the HDD).

What are the best options for me (assuming money isn't an option).

I'm thinking for my SSD:

And for my HDD:

or

What should I do? Any other better options?

Personally, you probably should research SSD before you take the plunge. Now if you have researched SSD and some of the current issues, then ignore this post. :)

I debated installing an SSD, but due to capacity limitations, I chose not to do it. I see that you are replacing your optics drive with a HDD and IMHO, if you use an SSD, then having another bootable drive makes a lot of sense. I hope I am not in left-field. :)
