Hi,I will add a ssd to my laptop and keep my 1tb 5400rpm hdd for storage and use the ssd for os and some small games,and i will replace the hdd from the internal sata port to the optical drive port,and will have a caddy,and the ssd will take the internal sata port,here are my questions
1.Will the hdd be slowed down in the optical drive port that it will make a noticeable difference in some games?like much longer load times
2.if yes,will the ssd speed be noticeable if i put it in the optical drive port?like the slowdown
 
Solution
Sata should be the same, they wouldn't mix Sata 1 with Sata 2 or Sata 3.
It will be as fast, just I don't know if you can priority boot off of the DVD Drive area. I mention this, because many Bios' in laptops are really limited.
If there is a problem, I'd swap the 2 around and have the main SSD where it should be.
