I was searching for a hdd caddy that would fit a 3.5" hdd. I am planning on buying this computer: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-OptiPlex-790-Mini-Tower-3-10GHz-Core-i5-2400-8gb-DVD-ROM-/382138423221?epid=219528940&hash=item58f93997b5:g:1GwAAOSw8GtZTYpM

 

 

Since it doesn't come with a hdd, I would need to buy one, and I am guessing that it doesn't have the caddy, either. I am seeing a lot of caddies that are compatible with dell optiplex 790 (the computer i'm planning on buying), but they aren't saying whether they are compatible with a 3.5" hdd.

 

Also, I am kinda new to the computer world and I wanted to ask if any 3.5" hdd caddy is compatible with a 3.5" hdd because there are different models shown on the caddies so I got confused as to whether a specific caddy went with a specific hdd.

 

Thanks for your help.
