SSD drive in optical caddy?

Hi!

Just a quick question. A couple of years ago I replaced the internal HDD with a SSD which led to a spinning fan etc, so I installed a software app which have worked pretty good. Now I want to do it “right”, and I’ve read that if you install the SSD in a optical caddy, the fan won’t go nuts? Obviously I’m gonna reinstall the original HDD. So original HDD and a SSD in the optical caddy, match made in heaven? Best solution?

You probably didn’t know you needed the OWC In-line Digital Thermal Sensor for iMac Late 2009 - Mid 2010 Hard Drive Upgrade.

Apple used a propriety heat sensor and if you change the hard drive you will get a run away fan, this sensor prevents that.

Thanks for the answer. Yeah, I did knew that, but at that time I was satisfied with the fan control solution and I was happy saving a couple of bucks. I also live in Sweden so that thing wasn't easy to come by. But, if we return to the main question, is SSD in a optical caddy a better solution?

See the dual hard drive kit update. SSD with optical BUS is to slow.

@mayer This series has both SATA ports running SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) so it doesn't matter which port the SSD is sitting in.

@danj OK but why lose the optical drive when you don't have to?

This system only has two SATA ports unlike the the 2011 models which have three.

So its a bit of a toss up! What's important to the OP. Having a dual drive config (HDD & SSD) or a single drive and the optical drive.
