I was looking for a simple external HDD enclosure and I couldn't remember, off the top of my head, if my standard desktop hard drive was the 2.5" or 3.5" size. So I pulled out the ruler, and measured the drive. It is roughly 5.5" x 4" x 1". It would seem to me that the 3.5" size is what I am looking for, but the drive is not 3.5" wide. Why?
3.5" is the size of the floppy disk that goes in a "3.5"" (use of quotes intentional) floppy drive, which is roughly the same width as your HDD. Likewise 5.25" refers to the floppy disks that went in drives with that nominal size. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
