Hello guys,

I have asked something like this in the past but this is something new and wanted an answer to take action right away.

 

So my questions are:

1. I am going ahead with replacing the optical drive of my laptop and replace with a caddy to support an SSD or HDD.

2. in the place of the optical drive should I replace with the new SSD or in its place put the old HDD instead?

3. similar to question 2, or will I leave the HDD where its currently placed?

4. I want to use the SSD to boot up the laptop and application etc and HDD for storage, how will I achieve this?

5. I wish to leave the HDD as C drive and make a new name for the SSD?

6. Also for the replacing of the optical drive, can someone find out the caddy size ill need and what type of connector it uses?

 

if you could give answers to all these, I'll really appreciate it.

Thanks
