Sure. See p. 49 here:
Remove existing DVD-R drive and replace with one of these:
You have to transplant over the little mounting bracket on the back of the DVD-R drive (see p. 50) to the optical caddy and also transplant the faceplate. Put a hard drive in the optical caddy. Understand it will transfer data a bit slower than a hard drive inside the laptop and way slower than an SSD but still fast enough to run a full-screen video stored on it. It will not be bootable but you have the SSD for the operating system.
Post back with any questions but please Accept as Solution if its your answer.
