I've actually sent the adaptor back now but I can get another if needs be. I had mine connected up exactly like your first picture, with the cd drive removed and the SSD & adaptor connected where the original HD was.
In response to your question regarding formatting the drive, when I first installed the SSD (like above) it didn't show up at all so there was no option to format it in the MPC. I then removed the drive and formatted it on a PC but it still didn't show up when I put it back in the MPC. I tested the SSD in a external caddy and plugged it into the front USB on the MPC and it read it fine, loaded files etc, I could also format the SSD from the MPC that way so I did, but again when I put it back inside the MPC it didn't show up.
Any ideas?
could be the adapter was a dud, or it was not recieving power, the jumper that set master, was it in place properly? as if the jumper not connected then it would not see it.
sorry it took so long to reply if you intend on trying again holla back and we can trouble shoot after.
if the adapter was cool, then as you had a cd drive in there before maybe the harddrive on your unit needed to be set as slave or one of the other options on the adapter, check your og harddrives jumpers see what it was set on, as im assuming the motherboard fo your 4k may have been configured differently to accomodate hd and cdrom.
