MacBook Pro + SSD

[thor]

I'll finally be taking the plunge and buying my first Apple hardware this week by getting the base 13" MacBook Pro. Once I get it, I'd like to boost the performance a bit by sticking in a small SSD but I have a couple of questions around that..

Does it matter which HDD bay I get? I've heard of the OptiBay but I've also heard several people recommending to just get a cheap alternative off Ebay.

I don't have a huge amount to spend on the SSD so I was planning on just getting the 60GB Agility 3. Will this be sufficient to run OSX + apps, then have all other data, such as downloads, photos etc on the secondary HDD (stock drive which will be installed in the bay)?

Cheers

I had a Vertex 2E 60GB in my MBP 13" and I have just picked up a Vertex 120GB for my 15" MBP as the 60GB wasn't big enough...

Looking forward to installing it today

What sort of stuff were you storing on the 60GB? I'm in two minds whether to get the 60GB or 120GB Agility 3. I could really do with not spending the extra 70 quid or so at the moment..
