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.

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:

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.
