Two SSDs for Optiplex 3050 - how do I install them?

Hey once again.

So I got an Optiplex 3050, which works just great.

My big Q is: How do I go about installing two SSDs there? I am sure there is enough room for two such SSDs inside, but what cables would I need? I think all of this would seem straightforward. Thanks.

    for 3050 MT it has a 2.5 bay for two 2.5" ssd.  cables should be included already.

    for 3050 SFF you can use a Dell 2.5 to 3.5 adapter which can hold two ssd.  install the adapter in the 3.5 hdd bay.

    SATA power cable will likely have 2 power plugs.  May need another SATA data cable though unless there's 2 already in the machine for HDD's/SSD's.
