Upgrading MacPro HDD to an SSD

Upgrading MacPro HDD to an SSD I really want to upgrade my Mac Pro (2008) HDD to an SSD, but having looked inside it seems that there aren't any laptop sized drive bays. I could probably use elastic bands to MacGyver it into place, but I'd rather have something more professional.

"You should be able to use a bracket kit with your Mac Pro drive bays.

Follow up answer: IMO you should get a drive that is large enough for your OS, Applications, and files that are used frequently. Everything else should be on either a SATA drive in another bay or preferably a SATA mirror using Mac OS software RAID 1."

"Depends on your exact usage, but 80GB should be plenty.

A great feature of OSX, as far as SSDs are concerned, is that it's easy to simply drag your infrequently-used apps from the SSD to your HDD in order to make some space. If you decide you want that app back on the SSD, it's easy enough to drag right back at some later date."
