[QUOTE="duncanbrodie1, post: 1222382, member: 194668"] Actually if you do have an HDD in your machine it would be best to leave it where it is to preserve the SMS (sudden motion sensor) which is protecting your HDD from data loss. You will still notice a very significant speed increase with the SATA II SSD nonetheless. Even better would be to just have dual SSD's and be done with it. As is the plan for me and my MBP. but definitely it is not a good idea to put the stock HDD in the optibay. as for your question about which drive to choose, just plan for how much storage you think you'll need (500Gb or 750Gb). If you're loading the OS and apps on to an SSD, and just using the HDD for storing music, documents, videos etc, then read/write speed will not come into play as much. You will not benefit from listening to itunes off of an SSD more than a HDD. But like I said, two SSDs would be the best configuration. And apple does offer a SSD as an option, so thats something to consider [/QUOTE]
