Hi

I have an iMac 27" with an Intel SSD, i now want to add a 2. SSD, i have order the things i need, now im just have 1 question.

I will Get a Samsung 830 SSD, will it be better for me to add the 2. SSD as slave or as Master.

If Master, How do i get recovery part from the Old SSD over on the new SSD, my iMac 27" is from mid 2011, so there is no disk with it, its a part of the HDD.
i was running 10.6.x and then i have upgrated to 10.8.x

How can i get the recovery on the SSD and will it be 10.6 or 10.8 !?

Use Carbon Copy Cloner, and select create the recovery partition before cloning the drive.
