Yeah you can buy a 3.5" to 2.5" drive bay adapter which might be what you need since the SSD is a 2.5" drive.I have no idea on the case, no brand names or numbers anywhere on it. I understand what you mean by vertically now I will have to wait for the SSD to arrive to see if I can mount it like that. I just assumed you could buy another piece of metal which attaches to the existing 'ledge' creating another 'ledge' underneath for a second hard drive, if that makes sense
