Hi, veehexx
I had used 2.5-inch drives with my Duo for almost 3 years using almimum plate to fix drives on trays.

And I am currently using 2.5-inch drives with my Ultra 2 and Duo for half a year using 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch adaptor case: Icy Dock MB882SP-1S-1B and MB982IP-1S.

There is no big problem since mechanical specifications of SATA connectors of 2.5-inch drives and that of 3.5-inch drives are idential, regardless it is officially supported or not.
