I have an Elitedesk 800 G4 tower. It has the slim optical drive.

I'd like to fit 3 3.5 hard drives in the tower to operate as a NAS with the 3rd drive acting as parity. If I remove the slim optical drive, can I place a 3.5 to 5.25 tray in that section of the tower?

Any recommended trays? The slim optical drive has the green plastic release latch on it. Not sure if a replacement 3.5 to 5.25 tray would need the isolation screws which are required for the 3.5 drive bays on the other side.
