You can easily install a 2.5" SATA SSD or 1T or larger capacity (in fact it makes no economic sense to go much smaller than that, since the cost per gigabyte is much higher with lower capacity drives).
Any caddy you use to replace the optical drive will be third party -- these are not Dell or Dell-supported. Some work, others don't -- buy based on reviews of actual users.
It is not necessary to use drives from the same manufacturer.
