Hi

I just don't need a CD drive but do need an SSD...

My Small Form Computer has no room for second Hard drive and the only available Drive needs a bracket like this to put an SSD in http://www.upgradeable.co.nz/parts/UA1295.html (which is an extra cost)

I was thinking I could get ride of the CD player and use its sata connection and power input for the SSD.

I'm happy to use double sided tape to secure the SSD..

I will be booting from the SSD and want to keep the Hard drive so I get Terra-byte drive..

Do you think this could be done..

Thx..

SATA ports are SATA ports - it doesn't matter what's connected to them, be it a CD/DVD drive or an SSD. The same goes with the SATA power connector.

So, yes, you can get rid of your optical drive and replace it with an SSD.
