Heyy I currently own a Macbook Pro 17Inch (late 2011) with following specs
I already have fixed a 256GB SSD as my primary driver. but my Optical drive (SuperDRIVE) has stopped working for about 2-3 years now. basically has no need of it. i was thinking of replacing it with
probably 1TB Samsung SSD drive.
I'm planning to purchase this caddy on ebay

when i inquired from local apple service center. they explained that its not recommended cause optical drive data transferring methods are not meant for HD/SDD handling. and it can cause issues in the motherboard
Please help me, regarding this?? is it safer?? is it true?? i dunt want to loose my only macbook (although its old)
really appreciate your expert knowledge, hope i'm not doing a foolish thing.
Thanks in advance
