Optiplex 780 Desktop 3.5" disk caddy

Hi,

   I have an optiplex 780 desktop which has a light blue plastic 'sort of holder' where the HDD would go but there seems to be a missing caddy. The drive moves about freely when laid in this place. Presumably there's a caddy that fits into this 'holder'. Currently the 3'5" HDD is jammed in place under the cdrom with a stiff dish washing sponge. This isn't really satisfactory to say the least!

   Does anyone know where I can buy the missing plastic caddy? If it's  a specific model for the 780 desktop does anyone know its name?

Regards Steve

At Amazon there are at least 2 listings, this one and this one which show a compatible caddy though they seem aimed more at SSD mounting. This one at eBay may be more of an exact match for an HDD.
