How to put a SSD in desktop DVD Drive slot?

[rimmi2002]

Hi I have an HTPC case. Antec Fusion veris 430. It has slots for only two HDs. I have a 1TB and a 1.5 TB in place.

I wanted to buy a SSD and only place I can put it is in the DVD drive slot since I am not using that. I have seen 3.5-->2.5 conversion brackets. Is there anything out there for the DVD slot to -->2.5.

Also for the SSD drive do i need 3.5-->2.5 power and data sata conversion cables?

Please advice. Thanks.

The power and data cables for a 2.5" SSD are exactly the same as for any other SATA HDD or DVD drive - no special adapters needed.
