Mid 2012 HDD/SSD in optibay

Hola!

I'm finding conflicinting information on where I should put my SSD on my mid 2012 MBP with the conversion of the optibay. I currently have a Samsung 840 Series SSD @ 250 GB in the HDD bay. It's working great and has all of my boot volume and applications on it. Have been running this setup for 90 days and love how fast it is but the lack of additional storage and accessing media libraries from external drives is growing long in the tooth. I have the optibay conversion kit and am just about to get cracking on it but can't figure out the best locale for the SSD. Is it best in the HDD bay or the optibay? It's not a question of connection speed because they're both SATA III. I've heard rumors of people having issues with booting from SSD in optibay yet the lack of drop protection for a HDD in optibay is also a liability.

What's the best approach here? Any input is appreciated!
