So I'm a long-time lurker here at tom's.
I've also built my last 3 PCs, so I'm no n00b to building. However I can't find the information that I'm looking for, either because I'm not looking in the right places, or because I gave up because I thought that this info would be easier to find.

I'm also wanting to add a larger storage drive, but I want to minimize the amount of hardware in the front of the case and I want it to be quiet.
I've been impressed with what I've read about Seagate's 32GB NAND + 1TB HDD SSHD for Laptops. Obviously I could go for a 3.5" desktop version, but that requires mounting it in a drive cage, which I'm trying to avoid.
TL;DR What I'm wanting to know is can I mount the Seagate 2.5" drive on the back of the motherboard tray like an SSD? And could this cause thermal problems for the drive?
