I I was to do what you are speaking of (not that I would purely because of the performance hit) I would get the drive caddy, move your 1TB spinner to that and then put the SSD in its place and clone the M2 to that drive.
If you are going to keep the M2 drive no matter I would leave it as is and save yourself a bunch of time and simply still relocate the spinner to a caddy and put the SSD in its place and leave the OS alone.
Better option. Clone the M2 you have to a larger M2 and put the spinner in a caddy and the SATA 111 in its place.
Best option, forget the spinner, its slow and outdated and cheap. Pull it out and put it in the closet or sell it off or trade for a case of beer. Get two larger M2 drives and a larger SATA III SSD.

Hi guys,
Just a quick question semi related. Got a G752VT-DH72. I've already swapped out the optical drive with an HDD caddy and put in a 2.5" Kingston SSD and kept the 1TB spinner on the HD bay. My question is will it be better to put the 2.5" SSD on the HD bay and the 1TB spinner in the caddy? Are both of them SATA 3 or is the optical drive/caddy connector a slower one?
