I have just bought a dell m4500 and want to run an additional internal hdd. Is it possible to replace the dvd drive tray with a hdd adapter to run another solid state drive or fast sata drive?
 
Solution
Your Dell m4500 can hold an additional hard drive, if you do not have a SSD in the second bay or purchase a modular bay caddie, which only holds a 18mm height drive. Search for modular bay caddie of Dell m4500 in google.
