1 - 2 hours

Moderate

My Problem

Needed better speed.

My Fix

Very easy with the wonderful guide you guys have.

My Advice

The Optical Bay enclosure screw holes did not line up with the SSD screw holes. Otherwise was very nice. I did not do the fusion drive set up I just put Mavericks on the SSD by restarting command r and booting off the net. Installed Maverick on the SSD and then moved everything over (lucky it was small enough to do that) selected my user in the preferences panel, right click, advanced and asked the Mac to look to the folder on the old HD for all the heavy stuff, so the apps and the system are the only things on my SSD. Trashed all the duplicated stuff. seemed to run much faster.
