[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1529733"] Just saw this thread. I upped my MBP to SSD by replacing the HDD with SSD, then moving the HDD to the Optical bay with the data doubler from OWC. Worked a treat. I don't see the problem you are having with TM seeing it all as one drive. Could it be that the HDD still has the OS on it, and that is the trigger for it to see them as one? WIth my installation, I backup up the old drive with CCC, then did the installation of the hardware, reinstalled ML and my applications on the SSD, then restored everything else to the HDD from the CCC backup. I did eventually have to have a Users folder with my account name on the SSD because some apps apparently will only write to the boot disk (Calibre and Parallels are two) no matter what you do. I use CCC to backup the HDD, TM to backup the SSD. I don't need the SSD backed up that much, so I use Time Machine Scheduler to schedule the backup just once a day. [/QUOTE]
