I'd ensure whatever drive I put in that caddy can park itself though - I don't think the Mac will instruct it to do so in event of an emergency.

I'm sure they work fine overall, I just worry about edge cases and data integrity.
I was reading that its optimal to put the HDD in the main bay and SSD in Optibay, unless you have a SATA 3 capable MBP
