Hi guys,

I was just wondering if any macbook pro owners have successfully converted the optical drive into an area to hold an SSD. I am planning on keeping my current HDD and adding the SSD. Please let me know how it went and how much it affected the performance.

(2012 MacbookPro non-retina)

Also, have any of you guys tried putting separate operating systems on each drive?

Thanks for the post! Sorry you aren't generating responses at the moment. Do you have any further information, come to any new conclusions or is it possible to reword the post?
 
No, but I plan on making the adjustment to my computer. I will try to remember to update this thread on how it went.
