SSD Upgrade to Studio XPS 435MT

I am interested in upgrading my boot drive in the Studios XPS 435MT. FYI, I have my eye on the Samsung MZ-5PA256.

My question is, based on the way the computer is built; the hard drives are mounted to the side of the case. They are not in traditional bays. And since SSD's are 2.5", I am wondering if anyone knows whether the mounting screws on the side bays will work with an SSD? I'd hate to have to buy the thing, just to find out it won't mount properly because the screw positions are off.

If anyone has any experience with this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming you has a 3.5" hdd in at the moment in which case you want something like this adapter.
