I put an OCZ Vertex 3 240GB in my MBP and a 500Gb 7200RPM HD in place of the optical drive. Some people report that SATAIII SSD drives in the new MBPs stall out a lot and beach ball on them. Make sure you update to the latest firmware which is supposed to help with these issues. At least with the OCZ drives, you have to update the Firmware in Windows as there is no OS X support for this, so keep that in mind.

- Apr 19, 2018 Every WSU MacBook hard drive is set up the same way: On a MacBook, all of the space on the single hard drive is assigned to one partition called MacBook Pro/Air # where the number represents the year it was distributed (e.g., MacBook Pro 13). Open your hard drive by double-clicking the MacBook Pro/Air # drive icon on your desktop (Figure 1).
- I literally have done this with multiple Surface Pro 3s. I recently bought a used SSD to revive my macbook because I can't access internet restore and can't create a rescue disk without another Mac. I'm hoping that dropping in the SSD (supposedly with a clean high sierra install) will do the trick and save my Macbook Air from being a fancy prop.

Also, make sure you use bootcamp to partition and install Windows before you put in the 2nd Hard Drive. Apple EFI Firmware does not support booting disks from external devices with the exception of OS X. In other words, you can only install 3rd party operating systems from the internal optical drive, so that is something else to consider.
