    I ordered a 8150 which has yet to arrive. I chose a 750gb HD and a caddy for the optical bay. I plan to purchase a 128gb Corsair M4 to use as my main drive. Since it is SATA3 I assume it should go where the HD will be and I should move the HD to the caddy in the optical drive bay, correct?

    Second question. Is all this relatively easy to do and does it require any parts which I wont have?

    Thanks for your your time.

    Yes, put the ssd in the hdd bay and the hdd in the caddy. You should not need anything else to do this, and put your OS and most used/ needed programs on the ssd. Use the hdd for data and such. You will be very happy. I did the same, have an Intel 510 in my hdd bay, Scorp Black in my caddy and really love it.
