I know apple is usually pretty tight with information, but is there any real evidence that the optical bay will be discontinued?
My dilemma is that I really like having two drives, especially a SSD for speed and a HHD for size. I have a 240GB SSD in the optical bay and a 1T in the HHD bay. I need a new 15" MBP. I would like to wait for the new Ivy processor and USB 3, but I think I would rather have the currrent offering if they are gonna do away with the DVD bay. Unless they add a second 2.5 bay of course, I would like that.
Or is my thinking wrong? Or should i go with the Ivy processor and hope that SSD's of 1.5T at a reasonable price become available within a year?
I still think that the current MBP with a SSD as the system drive and the 1T HHD would just be quicker all around than whatever the new MPB will be. Maybe not in raw processing power, but just snappiness for everyday things.
Or maybe the optical/DVD bay will still be there and I can have the best of three worlds. The fast drive, the big drive, and the baddest Mac around.
Thanks for the input
