You should use the appropriate connector for your new 2.5 SSD. Check your Dell OptiPlex model manual or the device specifications to confirm the correct connector type and pin configuration.

Use a converter from your laptop optical drive to a 2.5-inch HDD for compatibility

A SATA SSD connects to the larger flat port. If you require multiple units, use a SATA splitter. They're very affordable.

You're correct, the small PC was initially linked to a CD drive, which I took out and connected to a 2.5SSD.
