How to replace OptiPlex 390's slim ODD with HDD?

I have an OptiPlex 390 with a slim optical disk drive. I'd like to replace it with an HDD. I suppose I'll need a slim optical disc drive HDD caddy, but I'm not sure where to start looking or what measurements/size to even search for. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Close, but not exactly. I think what I need is a Slim ODD caddy like this https://www.amazon.com/Slim-ODD-Caddy-SATA-12-5mm/dp/B00MGHFF9G but I'm not sure if there are standard sizes or if I need to buy something that's an official Dell accessory to fit it.

Update: you need a SSD/HDD caddy for 12.7mm ODD laptop drive bay. Here's the best one I've been able to find: http://www.vantecusa.com/products_detail.php?p_id=144&p_name=SSD%2FHDD+Aluminum+Caddy+for+12.7mm+ODD+Laptop+Drive+Bay&pc_id=6&pc_name=Converter&pt_id=2&pt_name=Hard+Drive+Accessories
