Q3) Little experience here, but I would look at the option of cloning the drive onto the SSD. If you try to go smaller, you will usually find that the price increases enough (even a few dollars) to the point where you may as well get the 1 TB. Notebook drives tend to be more expensive, but a general rule of thumb is 1 TB is the standard size for pricing. I would ask this: do you need more storage? If so, then I would suggest the second drive be an HDD of at least 1 TB. The reason is, I just don't have any experience with tearing Macs down. Q2) I am not sure what to suggest about removing the disk drive for the second drive caddy. I've searched but I'm confident that I probably missed many valuable posts/info.
I'm happy to read if anyone has any links related to the subject that they can post. *The only part that has been replaced is the battery because it failed at 199 cycle count which bulged and affected the performance of my trackpad. Should I replace any fans or other components as preventative maintenance or are there any upgrades that I can do?
Will I be able to install the new hard drive and then choose which drive I want to boot up from? Original hard drive is running MAC OS X 10.6.8 Unibody Laptop Dual Drive / New / Part Only Which hard drive adapter is best? Any good/bad experiences or suggestions/recommendations? Some brackets I found while searching: Which SSD hard drive brand/model is best? The Samsung 860 Evo 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive looks interesting: I would like to add an additional Hard Drive to replace my Optical Drive and install a current version of Mac OS since I'm still running 10.6.8. I don't use it for graphic design, AutoCad, play games etc. I use my computer (for the basics) to browse, read, eBay, Youtube, email. I would like to upgrade my mac and I would like to know what options are available for my model. My Macbook Pro 17 specs as purchased when new in December 2010:
