Looks fine. I wouldnt change a thing.

 

[toondw]

I'm thinking about getting the 240ssd, nothing in the second bay then later in the year getting another ssd as the second drive? I presume they are easy to fit? I have previously fitted a hdd easy enough but never used a ssd.

 

[toondw]

Yup, decided. Going for the 240gb ssd then will buy the second drive later in the year if I need more space. Will most likely be another ssd but we will see! I see they fit the same way a normal drive does so no problems with fitting myself. :smartass:

 

[AndyL]

Yes SSD's are identical to HDD's in the way you fit them. I would however not recommend using an SSD as a secondary storage drive as it will be a massive waste of money. It also isnt worth using them in RAID if that is what you are thinking of doing. I would recommend getting a WD Scorpio Black as a second drive.

Thanks.
