Replace DVD drive with new SSD drive
In the internet, there is a "hardwrk SSD/HDD-Adapter-Kit" available for MacBookPro5.1 and later (unibody only). Do you have any idea, who to replace the DVD drive with a SSD in the older MacBookPro4.1?
Is this a good question?

Just added a WD 750GB Scorpio Black. Works like a charm.
If you want to have fast without paying too much then you can get the Seagate Momentus 750GB which has 8GB SSD Cache. It's the second fastest drive after SSD.
I tried for the fun of it to put my SSD Sandisk 240GB on this bay. I found that it is much slower compared when you installed on the original HDD bay which is 1.5Gbit/s. I think the DVD bay which has PATA speed works well with any normal HDD.
For now, SSD is for OS to run the laptop smoothly and HDD is for all my read and write. My Macbook Pro early 2008 is now on turbo mode. Although it's only 1.5Gbit/s, it's fast!!!
