I confirm the adapter work on readynas duo and ultra2, I found it here: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=44727
There are some photos.
There are also some other DIY solution.
I am not interested in SSD for a NAS, I would like a 2.5" HDD because it's easier to re-use in a mini-itx pc in case I would like to build a small home server one day (or USB-HDD or a smaller nas or whatever). It's more flexible to reuse than "big" 3.5.
It is also supposed to be lower consumption and less noise (even if there are some good 3.5" for nas).
As there are some compatibilities issues with readynas (otherwise, there would not be a part of the forum dedicated to this), I would like a lot to had some experiences returns from people who already tried one.
I focus on 1TB but any feedback is interesting.
Currently, I have a readynas duo with 1TB 3.5" HDD (I would add the 2.5" in raid with this one).
My other 3.5" disk is almost dead (it's what's SMART told me at least).
