    OWC in Australia - forget it

    Just want to provide a tip for people who want to purchase an upgrade of their OWC internal SSD for the MacBook Pro.

I'll probably go the DVD Bay route for the OS SSD to maximise available PCI bandwidth and I'll probably put a GTX 680 in slot 1. That leaves slots 2,3 & 4 for PCI SSD cards. The aim is to optimise the...
