Replacing HDD with SSD and adding HDD via Caddy

Good evening. I recently bought an SSD. I wanted to replace my old HDD on my notebook with this SSD, but at the same time I wanted to use the HDD by adding it via Caddy (adapter that replaces the dvd player with a disk). Any suggestions on how to operate?
