Installation guide (video) shows how easy it is to plug a 3.5" disk into the caddy (for my F4-425 and I assume for many other models).
But I've searched endlessly for a video showing a 2.5" being installed without any success.
Nor any mention at all in the guides/pdfs.
I've just attached it with the screws but I'm wondering if I should still be able to stick the "side plastic band" (that fits into the side holes of a 3.5").
Because if I should be able, I must have put something a bit off, as I cannot put it, not aligned with side hole.
It would be nice to mention 2.5" disks somewhere (video or PDF), as they're supported.

Re: [Help] 2.5" SSD disk installation
Hello, in the device's parameter list, we usually mention support for 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch hard drives.
The plastic strip on the side is used to secure the 3.5-inch hard drive, so it is not needed when installing a 2.5-inch hard drive.
You can refer to this video for installation:

Re: [Help] 2.5" SSD disk installation
Thank you for your feedback. Regarding the installation of 2.5-inch hard drives in a TerraMaster NAS, your method is completely correct—simply secure the 2.5-inch drive (or SSD) to the native 3.5-inch drive tray using screws; no additional specialized bracket is required.
