its tricky to do this with a hotswap bay, because the 2.5" drive's
connectors are the same distance from the edge as the 3.5", so you have
to secure the disk without anything between the near side and drive, yet
the screw holes aren't even close to in the same lace. I managed to
kludge this with a HP gen6 bay.
HOWEVER, Supermicro DOES have 2.5" drive trays that fit many of their
hotswap 3.5" bays. thats by far the best way to do it.
MCP-220-00080-0B 2.5" HDD in 2nd generation 3.5" hot swap tray
(CSE-PT17L-B)
etc.
