Comment on Using DVD slot for second 3.5" drive?

Occasionally some manufacturers use some weird proprietary connection but usually both DVD drives and 3.5" disks use the same SATA connectors. Heck, even in the old IDE/PATA days you could use the same connection on either.
So yeah, the connection is the same and probably will plug and play without any configuration needed
