[QUOTE="zachnelson, post: 1157151, member: 183249"] Greetings, I'm new here. I've got a 13" MacBook Pro, latest revision. I have a few questions about a range of topics. First and foremost, I want to upgrade to an SSD, and move my existing HD to an optibay in the optical drive spot. 1. Is there any official word on warranty violations with this procedure? 2. Is the 60GB SSD from MacSales/OWC a good choice? 3. How often does the optibay power down? 4. With the removed optical drive, am I able to connect it to a SATA to USB adapter and use it like that? Or will I need to find a dedicated external enclosure? 5. For formatting an SSD, post use, is zeroing it bad? Can cause issues with trash/writing speed etc? I read the post about OS X and SSDs, but it's not clear on this issue. 6. Is there a cheaper optibay caddy from ebay or some other place? The one from OWC is quite pricey. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
