It's interesting. I thought same thing first but abandoned the idea because it would be very tough to make holes in such steel plate without power tools.
By the way, I checked dimensions of screw holes and found that to locate SATA connector of 2.5-inch drive at exactly same place as 3.5-inch drive, two holes in the connector side will be half covered by tray (pic).
So, if I do the same as you did, the connector would be 1 or 1.5 mm longer than normal position. It would not make any trouble?
