Hard drive shuffle

我的问题

There wasn't really a problem, the computer was just slow. I wanted a solid state hard drive, and the optical drive was finished anyway. So I decided to pop out the optical drive, pop out the old hard drive, then put the old hard drive where the optical drive was, and install a new SSD where the old hard drive went (I heard a rumor that the motherboard couldn't read off the optical drive slot very fast).

我的修理方法

Perfectly. Everything was just as the guide said! I was able to toss the old optical drive happily, and got what feels like a brand new computer, faster, and with way more space!

我的建议

When you install your second hard drive, if you can find a way to keep the first one around, you can format the new drive and install OS X on it from the recovery partition of the old drive!
