    I read the topic about optical bay caddies and hdparm, but I'm not too good with linux/command line operations. I don't know how to make a batch file on startup nor if the commands in the topic worked when I input them or are right for me. Sorry if this is the wrong section, any "noob friendly" advice on getting the most out of a HDD in the optical drive slot? Thanks alot
