[QUOTE="sevenhelmet, post: 1144383, member: 10935"] Just playing devil's advocate here, but let's say for a moment that you remove the optical drive from your computer to install something else. What happens if your HD has a failure/corruption and you need to boot from the OS disc to restore your system? Not trying to argue with your idea, I just think an optical drive is nice to have, even if you don't use it much for the day-to-day stuff. As far as installing a SATA graphics card goes, I have never heard about that being done on a MBP before. I don't know if it's possible, but it would definitely take some technical know-how. [/QUOTE]
