Dell optiplex 7010 hdd caddy

Question

I have a dell optiplex 7010 small form factor desktop I got from a recycling facility. It does not have a hdd caddy or the metal hdd caddy. Where can i get both the hdd caddy and the metal caddy that supports two 2.5 drives. One 2.5 ssd and one 2.5 hdd. I also need the metal hdd caddy that the hdd caddy goes into. I can't find it. There is a picture of my system with no hdd caddy. If anyone can help me I would be most grateful. Thanks

THE EASY SOLUTION  EDITED! This can be a 'long-term fix' or a 'band-aid' until you get the real thing!  Get a roll of 'Double-Back Tape'!  Most hardware stores have small rolls for $3.50 or less, but you won't need much!  EDIT!!  I just realized that the heaver drive, (a SATA) will generate MORE HEAT than the SSD!  Put the SSD on the BOTTOM and let the heat rise ~ but not UP to your SSD! The Double Back Tape should offer enough 'cushion' and 'thermal insulation'.  Get your System 'online' and hunt for a proper caddy later if you still want one? Looks like you are also missing the CD/DVD Drive?  But you may have moved it away for your photo?  I see 1 USED'DELL'Drive'  at the eB place for about $14.50 with 'free shipping' (6-21-19)... check it out! Anthony

Thanks for your response. I have the dvd drive. I just didn't include it in the photo. Once I get the hardware how does it connect to the system? I do not see any screw placements or hinge on the system that allows the cage caddy to connect?

Thanks
