    • Once the cables are free, set the drive cage aside.

    • The two cages are cross compatible and can be put in either location.

    • The MDD does not have a 128GB drive limit like older Macs. My MDD has 3 drives (a 400GB Hitatchi Deskstar, 40GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.7, and a 30GB Quantum Fireball LCT).

    • Note the ID jumpers on the two drive set. One is set to Master, the other to slave. A single drive can be set to Cable Select.

In the Sacramento FATP factory we used to call this the 'media can' in previous models because there were other drives such as ZIP and JAZZ drives available, until this and the one just prior which only had optical drive options, so it became the 'optical cage'
