Hard drive in optibay questions.
What would be better to put into the optibay of a macbook pro 7200rpm or 5400 rpm hdd?
Any significant increase in battery consumption or vibration with 7200 rpm? I thought it may cause a problem under the keyboard (vibration).
Any significant decrease in performance with 5400? My OS will be on my main ssd in the original disk bay.
The hard drives i can get are 6Gb/s, will they cause a problem with the 3Gb/s SATA connector in the optibay?
Can I eject the hard drive in optibay and re-mount it later without rebooting?
Also, when I take the superdrive out, can it be powered with just a SATA to USB cable or do I need an enclosure?
