Hello All,
I recently bought a OptiBay with a 500GB hard drive. I put a 128GB SSD in as the Boot Drive. So far everything is working great. One question...is there an external enclosure that i can put the super drive in for the 2-3 times a year i use it?
Thanks for your help.

Interesting...
I didn't know these Optibays existed. Do you know if they void your warranty (or applecare) if you have one installed?
I could really use the extra drive space, and wouldn't mind putting the superdrive in an external enclosure...

Make sure the enclosure actually works with the MBP optical first. These guys say:
The MacBook and MacBook Pro 15-inch make use of a non-standard 9.5mm internal SuperDrive. Since there are no external enclosures available for this type of SuperDrive, MCE gives you the option of a complete portable 8X DVD±R/RW + Dual/Double Layer bus-powered USB 2.0 SuperDrive, or the desktop 20X DVD±R/RW + Dual/Double Layer FireWire/USB 2.0 SuperDrive.
