Modular CD/DVD drive?

Question

The Latitude D520 is listed as having a modular CD/DVD drive. What does this mean, and could you put in a second hard drive in place of this drive? If so, how would you do it?

Modular - is one of a series of devices that conform to the D-Bay spec into which devices can be

inserted/removed without tools. They simply clip in. There are two official Dell Hard drive options which conform to this spec.

Thanks for that info. Would this second hard drive fit into the space for the CD/DVD drive, so that you would have two hard drives in the computer?
