    Anyone know how what is needed to run both the installed SATA drive and SSD drive? I heard about removing the optical drive and installing the SSD there but anyone know where to buy the bay etc?

    Yes you can remove the optical drive and then get an Optical Bay Hard drive caddy. They are a universal size so basically any will fit. Just make sure its not a super slim drive. You can then take off the bezel from the optical drive and put it on the bezel to keep the flush look. These can be found pretty easily online

    If I do it that way, can I use an external CD Rom drive for all my CD/booting needs?
