Has anyone else noticed their Macbook booting and responding slightly slower with this duel-hard drive setup? I first swapped out my main hard drive for a SSD and the computer felt amazingly quick. I then replaced the optical drive with another SSD for additional storage and backup and ever since then the computer has felt slightly more sluggish in general. I suppose the CPU now has to constantly communicate to the second SSD where it could mostly ignore the optical drive before. Has anyone else noticed this?
Just fixed that issue:
Put the new SSD where the old HD used to be. Put the old HD where the optical drive used to be.
I found that the ports in the motherboard inside the mac have different speeds. The HD port is 6mb/s and the optical drive is 3mb/s.

Are you sure its MB/S that would be horribly slow.

I am seriously considering replacing my old HDD with a SSD instead of using a dual drive. Would you recommend still adding a dual drive with new SSD/ old HDD or just replacing the HDD with an SSD. I like having an optic drive, although not necessary. I am looking from the point of utility and practicality. Cheers!

Zarkex is correct. The transfer speed for SATA 3 is not 6MB/s it is 6GB/s.
