[QUOTE="papamidnight, post: 1233041, member: 176655"] I'm trying to decide which direction I should go with my mobile computing. I currently posses two laptops and therefore two options. 1) 13" macbook pro 2.26 C2D/2GB RAM/160GB HDD 2) 11" macbook air 2GB RAM/64GB HDD I want to keep the speed of the SSD but I am quickly running out of space on the air. What I want to do is install a small SSD in the spot of the superdrive and replace the stock hdd with a larger size in the MBP and sell the air. I have two questions: 1) how difficult will this be, I've never opened a macbook but I'm usually not afraid to poke around in my electronics. 2) How difficult will it be to tell the computer which drive I would like to store information on? I would obviously want to store all system files onto the ssd and all my media files onto the larger hdd. Is their anyway to make this a automatic process? I guess the simpler, more expensive, option would be to just buy one large ssd to store everything on. I'm not looking to spend too much on this project. Thank you [/QUOTE]
