Q: MacBook mid 2010 slow bought SSD to fix it

My MacBook was /is slow so I bought an SSD from Crucial. I partitioned the hard drive and cloned the SSD. I had thought that I would then take out the optical drive and put in the SSD in the caddy that I also purchased.

But this is where I've got lost can anyone help me please?

At the moment the SSD is attached to my MacBook with SATA cable but I wanted it inside.

So this is a two pipe problem as Sherlock would say!

1) Can I put this new 2.5-inch solid state drive into my mid 2010 MacBook in place of the optical drive?

2) There's obviously much more that I need to do to get the benefit of the SSD but daft as this sounds I don't know what!

This is my MacBook.
