Tips for what to do with an extra MBPr SSD?

I just bought a new MBPr after my other 5 months old one died from some spilled soda. The only thing that works on my old one is the SSD and i was just wondering if anyone knew any cool stuff I could do with it? Was hoping there was a case to make it an extarnal SSD, but nothing turned up while searching..

Thanks!

OWC makes a usb3 case called the aura pro. Make sure you order one that specific to fitting an apple oem rmbp ssd though. Edit: macsales.com

Just talked to someone over at OWC, but they haven't updated the Aura Pro series from micro SATA (2012-early2013) to mini PCIe (2013-). But they also told me that they would update it later this year, so thanks for the tip!

Remove your optical drive and put the SSD in it's place.

Shit, I guess it was really early and I just never made it all the way to the end of the post and I didn't even realize MBPr don't have optical drives.

What a major fail on my part.
