Dual hard drive setup
I want to buy the the optical bay converter that ifixit sell to replace my dvd drive with a second hard drive. I will get a new SSD to put in but thought I should check which of the two SATA connections is faster? The original one that my HDD is connected to or the one the dvd is connected to? Or are they exactly the same? I was thinking if one is faster than the other I should put the SSD in that one.
Also, I may not be keeping this computer for too long. If I buy a new laptop would it be likely or unlikely that I would be able to use this drive adaptor with it? It may not be a Mac so can someone tell me is there a common size for these types of converters? Or (like many other aspects) does Apple have very weird shaped dvd drives compared to other manufacturers so this converter would be useless in a new non-Apple computer?
Lastly, does anyone know which SATA revision this supports? SATA 1, 2 or 3?
Questa è una buona domanda?

Can you give us the last three digits of your systems serial number so we can correctly identify which exact model you have. Without it we can't really answer your SATA port question.
