    I was thinking of installing my OS on an SSD and getting a caddy for the optical drive to put in my current HDD. Does anyone know what kind of impact on battery life this will have running 1 SSD and HDD at the same time?

    Which caddy do you use and will it fit in the new ENVY 15t-3000?

    thanks!
