I absolutely LOVE Apple hardware, not just for the look, more so for the art of how they build their hardware. One harddrive adapter for an optical bay (I used this one from Amazon) as displayed earlier.An old towel to work on and prevent scratches ….Well, let’s see, this process took me about 5 minutes and I only used
Read this article for more details on how to get RAID-0 going in a setup like this – be aware though that although wicked fast, if one disk fails: all your data will be gone … ( RAID-0 writes data split to both disks – which makes it so fast). Note that when you’re using two identical (size) drives then you could consider a RAID-0 setup which will be wicked fast, specially when using SSD drives. I really like speed, so I went with another 160Gb Intel SSD (probably not for everybody’s budget), but if you’re planning to just use it for massive storage then a regular 2.5″ harddrive as well offering more storage capacity at a much lower price. The choice of drive is completely up to you. This link will help you identify the MacBook Pro model you have … For older models you’ll have to do some homework to figure out if the optical drive is actually using SATA. Newer models, and I believe any of the unibody models, will be equally easy to convert. If you have a MacBook pro like I do (15″ mid 2010 MacBook Pro a.k.a. MacBookPro6,2) then this guide will work without even having to think. You will have to pay attention here – some of the older MacBook Pro’s appear to have a PATA (classic IDE/ATA) connector and those will not work with a SATA disk.
