seb43654 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Hi, I was wondering if the modular bay is compatible with Mountain Lion. Has anyone ever tried using a Hard Drive or secondary battery in it with OS X? Also if I were to throw in a secondary SSD for my boot drive, will the data transfer rates be slower than the built in SATA hard drive slot? Thanks, Seb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Seb Yup, Runs like a charm, I use a Kingston 128 ssd, along with a hitachi 750g running a 7200 rpm, also works with modular floppy and modular battery once in a while but not that often I have to verify and repair permissions in disk utility,. but Its never failed, Id say go for it, my specs are 2.5 processor ,8g of ram(though I firmly believe anything more than 4 is a waste) 128 SSD, 750 modular,. 360 blutooth , 1490 broadcom ,.90 watt power adaptor (dont use the 65w) and running 10.7.4 good luck- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo mac Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Oh,. I could never get it to boot from modular bay , Ive tried ,.and failed,.not sure what the transfer rate is ,but not that all different from from a usb with 2 hubs used,. the battery module is awesome ,.does give an honest 4 hrs,.(depending on use of-course) ,.also relatively cheap on ebay,.Just try to remember the Front Bus Speed is only at 800, so you can only do so much to improve speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
