Hi,


(1) Not supported

(2) Supported, but not suggested. SSD is better to be made bootable drive for appreciable performance improvement. Optical drive bay can not be made bootable.

For this reason you've to put SSD in primary hard drive bay. You can go for upgrade of HDD to 2.5 inch SATA SSD. Use cloning softwares to clone OS partitions from HDD to SSD.

HDD can be moved to ODD bay using caddy like below and used for storage.
