Does this enclosure support WD 15mm height HDD?

Product specs/descriptions I've seen say it accommodates up to 12.5mm only. Orinco makes another model called the "MiniPro" which supports 15mm drives. I picked up one of these because of the USB 3.0 Sata 6g and e-Sata support and the build quality, materials and design looked really solid but the release arm will only eject a standard 2.5" HDD drive with a .28" or 7mm heigth. Popped a Samsung 840 in there and the internal bar that's connected to the swing arm that's meant to eject your drive doesn't even touch the SSD because they are too thin. Pop an SSD in there and that sucker is stuck in there real good with the swing arm just flapping about and completely useless. I ended up having to get some needle nose pliers and clamping on to the top of edge of the SSD just to pull it out - wasn't too happy about that. Actually if you see how a standard HDD fits in there and the amount of space left, it looks like you should be able to put in a 15mm device but there's a metal clip inside that helps secure your drive which will get in the way or if you manage to ram your WD drive past it then you pretty much got yourself a permanent enclosure to protect that drive. Good luck getting it back out.
