Genesis IV with SSD

I'm looking at getting a Genesis IV laptop with i7 quad core processor, and want to put in my SSD Agility 3 60gb hard drive... Moving the other hard drive to the secondary space...

I have a couple of questions:

1 - how easy is it to get to either hard drive bay - I'm assuming the secondary one is very easy to get to.
2 - Has any tried anything similar (having SSD as primary drive) - Just how much quicker is it??

I currently have/had an Acer laptop, with my SSD as the main drive with Win 7 ultimate installed and a 750gb 5400 hard drive as secondary/storage. It has recently died, hence me needing a new one...

There is only one chassis hard drive bay with that laptop so you would need to use the DVD drive bay for a second hard drive.

1- it is easy to access, just unscrew the back cover.
2- around 25 seconds to boot windows, it also speeds up other applications/games you have in the SSD

Thanks for both replies... i knew about using the dvd drive bay - that's not a problem - a pain, but not a problem. I assume there is no PCS laptops with two hdd bays and room for dvd rom??
