There are all kinds of 3d printable brackets you can use to mount them in standard drive bays.  Doesn’t the CMD-HD use a standard 3.5” drive?  IIRC I mounted mine in a 5.25” slot behind a drive bezel for a Zip drive in my 9600 so that I could access the SD card slot without cracking the case.

Use good media, genuine sandisk extreme or the like (there are a LOT of forgeries of SD and microSD media so shop carefully). Write endurance and I/O performance, especially random writes, is very different as you go up the quality scale.
