[QUOTE="McYukon, post: 1399630, member: 101117"] SSD in HDD default spot, HDD in optibay no problems at all. Don't put the whole users folder on the HD as some sites suggest. I've found this slows everything down to HD speeds as OSX will need to access your users library app support folder everytime you launch an application. Rather stick everything on there that you don't need every day. Documents, Music, Movies, Pictures etc. If you do it that way, OSX will not have to access the HD all the time, so I've set HD spindown time to 5 mins instead of 10.
