Optiplex 790 Desktop 2nd HDD

Hello everyone,

I have a Dell Optiplex 790 Desktop. Specs: i5-2400, GT 1030, 8GB Ram, 500gb SSD.

I have a couple questions:

 

1. Can I replace the DVD drive with a hdd caddy like https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2nd-HDD-Optical-DVD-RW-Bay-Caddy-Adapter-12-7mm-to-2-5-HDD-SSD/153526099397?hash=item23bede5dc5:g:OSAAAOSw35ZdEOMO and put in a 2.5 inch HDD? I was reading the manual and it says I can only have 1 HDD internal or external - Is this true?

 

2. Can I upgrade the i5-2400 to an i7-2600k? And would I need to update BIOS for this - The version is something like 'A18 revision'

 

Thanks in advance,

Jacob.
