MCE Tech Optibay for MacBook Pro Review and How To! [TUTORIAL]

<Category: Apple, Hardware, Mac> No comment

I was lucky enough to get an OptiBay unit from MCE Tech and have had it installed now for about a week. All I have to say is this is exactly what I was looking for. MCE Tech makes a product to replace your internal SuperDrive in your MacBook or MacBook Pro and replace it with a second internal HDD or SSD. I chose HDD and got the kit with the 500GB 7200RPM Drive. I have set it up to be my Time Machine Backup drive and have moved all my installers and other data onto that drive to free up my SSD for applications and the OS.
