I want to install a ssd in my asus a555l laptop, i have seen many videos on the internet that show to install ssd in hdd spot and ssd in dvd drive spot. But somewhere I read tha installing hdd in dvd bay slot may damage it because of power requirements, is this true?
 
Nope, not true. I am curious to learn of the link/article you had read that on. Just make sure you have the right SSD/HDD caddy that corresponds to the height of your ODD of you plan to retain the HDD in it's original location.

IMHO, if you're working with a 2.5" form factor SSD, you can pop it in the spot where our ODD is since an SSD doesn't produce heat like a mechanical drive.
