    I would like to update my CF31 from an HDD to an SSD. I have a Samsung 850. After reading a couple threads on this site it sounds like I need to purchase an additional caddy. At least I want to. Where can i buy them?

    Also, it looks like the SSD is not a plug and play into the caddy. What type of modifications need to be done to the caddy to make the SSD fit?

    I have done several SSD's in 31's. Just pull the caddy, swap the drives, and use your restore disk or install windows. It's quite easy. You shouldn't need anything other than a screwdriver and your media.
