[QUOTE="daigohgoh, post: 1264160, member: 207422"] [b]Optibay on Ebay![/b] Hey! Did you get your Optibay yet? I read in the forums that you can get Optibays on Ebays for $15!!! So I bought one from China, I stuck in my SSD in the Optibay and it ran fine! Now I'm getting a SuperDrive Enclosure for $11. So now I have an HDD and an SSD, both with Mac OS X in them. (I basically left the HDD alone). The SSD took 10 secs to boot up! (I did a clean install, no carbon copy or nothing). Seriously, $25 vs. $99, just get it from Ebay. I also changed the Startup Disk to boot from the SSD. I got the Vertex 2 OCZ because I also have a 2009 MBP and we only have SATA II, and they're getting cheaper, just look for sales in your local store. [/QUOTE]
