Well, the title is not strictly true. I've got my hands on a SSD (for the OS) and want to keep my HDD (for the media files). Has anyone put a HDD, or SSD, where the CD/DVD would be? and got any pics? or remembers an install like it?
Cheers,
Dave

Can anyone help me on this (SSD due to be delivered today :))

I think you could get away with duct taping the SSD into the cd drive position, if you can't find an adapter that would work.
I tried a few ways to place it where the cd drive position is, but no go. I wound up using double sided tape and taping the SSD to the top of the standard hard drive.
Finally, I ended with buying a new case. :)
What I did was replace my 500gb drive with a 60gb ssd. I then got an external 2.5 usb enclosure and put the 500gb in it. It only requires the mini usb to connect. I then keep that either up at the front under the dash, or behind the rear seat. That way if I want to update the music, videos, or anything else I just bring it into the house.
I recommend truecrypt for encrypting both drives.
mayb e i am missing the point, but i don't see a reason to encrypt the data on my hard drives-- none of it is sensitive material(ie: no passwords are stored, no bank statement #'s..)Quote:
