[QUOTE="jcmoore2, post: 1222366, member: 49702"] The new MBPs have at SATA 3 connection to the current hard drive and a SATA 2 to the optical bay. Therefore what makes sense is replacing the current HDD with a SSD and then moving the HDD to the optical bay. That way you can take advantage of the SATA 3 speed. I would also recommend installing your applications to the SSD so that they boot quicker. Apps like final cut or photoshop will run a lot faster. Just make sure that your SSD is large enough to house all your apps. Also you won't be able to store all your photos or scratch footage on the SSD so you may need to move certain files back and forth between disks depending on which project you are working on.
