[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1143713, member: 97843"] Thanks for the info, but I was trying to focus more on the specific OWC units. I saw those, but it seems like I'm reading more cases of them working wrong than right(Optibay). Anyways, since I already have a good hard-drive(Seagate Momentous XT 500gb Hybrid), I decided to just get a 30gb OCZ Agility, and install the OS on it, along with whatever programs will fit. If this works out well, I will upgrade to the OWC ssd's. Now I just gotta wait for it to come:( For the optical bay, I ended up going with this and chose the version that also comes with an external optical enclosure: [url=http://www.maxupgrades.com/istore/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=186]maxupgrades.com: MaxConnect Optical Bay kit for MacBooks & MacBook Pros Unibody Models[/url] This is the ssd I chose because it has sweet reviews and runs well, and I got it for only 60 bucks new!: [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227460&Tpk=OCZ%20OCZSSD2-1AGT30G]Newegg.com - OCZ Agility Series OCZSSD2-1AGT30G 2.5" 30GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)[/url] If everything works out well, I will be upgrading that ssd to one of these: [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/SSDMX040/]40GB Mercury Extreme Pro SSD 2.5" Serial-ATA...
