[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1420197, member: 56379"] Look at it this way...would you install a traditional hard drive into one of the optical bays? If the optical bays were somehow superior to the 4 hard drive bays...wouldn't Apple have installed a hard drive in there already?? Same rules would apply for an SSD. Also consider...it's gonna be a pain in the butt to get it in & out of the optical bay if you wanted to remove it. If you have two open HD bays...I would just install it in there.:) I would only install an HD or SSD in an optical bay as a last resort (if everything else was full). - Nick [/QUOTE]
