So i have a hp compaq 6300 small form factor which according to the Manuel can fit 2 hard drives or a hard drive and ssd due to the 2 sata ports. But i looked in the computer and i have no idea where i could install the ssd? I dont believe that there would be enough room just above the hard drive but i could be wrong as this is the first time i'll be getting an ssd.

2 x laptop size drives will fit into the same physical space as a single 3.5" HDD.
Here is an adapter that will hold 2 x drives in a single 3.5" HDD mount point:

So, 1 x SSD and 1 x 2.5" HDD.
Or, 2 x SSD.

Put your SSD under DVD drive (with 3.5" to 2.5" adapter).
