Ssd and warranty

[Georgenoon]

So I wanna replace the hard drive in my laptop with an ssd, will it void my warranry? If yes will replacing my optical drive with an ssd using a cuddy will too?

Putting an SSD in an optical caddy is not going to get you where you think it will. The caddy will only allow the drive to operate at a crippled speed and on most models you cannot boot from a drive in the optical bay. But you can replace the DVD drive with such a caddy with no effect on the warranty. You can also put an SSD inside the laptop and not void the warranty.

Thanks, that was a huge help. One last question, if i use the cuddy for the old ssd will it run ok?

I meant hdd sorry

OK is relative but yes that is a far better way to go. The drive will work well enough for storage. You can run a video or mp3 from it, just not the fastest interface.
