In a late 2008 unibody 5,1 2ghz I have a seagate 1tb sshd and looking to put 250gb and owc data doubler in optibay. for my specific model, would you put the ssd in the hdd bay or in the data doubler (optibay) On one hand its the SMS and on the other its the SATA speed. But for my specific model what would you say? (btw not a fusion drive) everybody says something diff...
Do u know were i can find disk dubler to macbook pro 13" 2012? I live in norway.. and its hard to find here. Can u maybe give me a link or something? Would appreciate it.
So... your getting rid of the optical drive for a second hard drive? Why not just install a larger hard drive? Or is the optical drive that un necessary?
I have done this data doubler on my macbook 13' late 2008, afterwards my wi-fi no longer works. Although my bluetooth and isight camera still work. It says there is no wi-fi hardware installed. i tried re-installing lion, reset NVRAM / PRAM and checking all cables multiple times nothing works. Anyone knows where the problem might be?
***** Hey! I buy the following article : eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/SSD7E3G240/ So I see this article does not come with that adapter . I can use solid state disk I bought as principal? or I need adapter anyway ?. thanks for your quick response
Why wouldn't you put the SSD in the main slot and put the HDD in the replacement slot? Are they both 6 gigabit?
Been waiting for this. Really want to fully upgrade mine. Would be nice.
Thanks for the products OWC.
great! do you guys have a video on how to replace the hard drive cable? I really need to change mine
Q was answered by live chat.. Thanks OWC (but u really need to open up a branch in Australia)

Is there a difference in speed between this and a direct connection?
Would this be faster than a hard drive if i put an ssd into the data double

Yes, it does. I have removed the DWD combo drive and installed a Crucial SSD.

Is there any other way I can replace my optical drive with an internal hard drive?
I want to do this to my MacBook. It's a White model, a 7,1 one from 2010.
Anyone know where I can find a replacement for the SATA ribbon connector?
Can I use a Data Doubler with my 2008 mackbook 4,1 to install a second HHD?
@OWCmacsales alright thanks anyway, and what is the part that dose not allow it to work?

Where can I buy that brand of SSD? I would love to have a fast Mac since I use Adobe suits a lot.
