If you don't use the optical drive then you can remove that and put the hotswap bay in there.

This one accepts both 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives. The idea is to only have one hard drive at a time connected when booting. I have the HP 6300 Pro MT so I've got 2 5.25 inch bays to use. I can keep my optical drive installed and use a bay. This is how the 2.5" SSD looks when connected. 3.5" HDDs stick out much farther.
Nice solution, although in my SFF, I would like to retain the DVD, I'll see if I can find a similar solution for a small bay.
Thanks!
