    I have a 4820TG-6847 with a 750 GB 5400 RPM drive and I want to get a SSD. Apparently a Samsung 128 GB one will be going on sale on Monday on Newegg, and while I wanted a smaller one (like 64 GB) only for apps and windows, apparently those are slower

    Anyway, what I'm looking to do is put the SSD as my main HD and then put the current 750 GB stock in the optical bay with a caddy. However, I am not too knowledgeable about laptop internal stuff.

    Here is a link for a caddy where the first comment, the guy actually had a 4820TG, and I just wanted to make sure this is what I would want

    Amazon.com: Protronix® SATA 2nd HDD Hard Drive Caddy for 9.5mm Universal CD / DVD-ROM Optical Bay: Electronics

    And then I just wanted to ask if anyone knows the difficulty of installing a HD caddy or SSD in the 4820TG?
