    Got one of these coming from the Dell outlet.

    Is there room inside for an HD AND an SSD ? and if there is, do I need a Dell's own caddy to mount the SSD ?


    Thanks.

    There's no room for both, unless you remove the dvd drive.

    As stated, you need to remove your optical drive and get a caddy to fit both.
