Subject: [Blind-Computing] questions on differences between external harddrives


Hi list,
I was interested in the conversation regarding external hard drives on the list 
a few weeks ago. I got some prices from Dell as a 
starting point, as my desktop is a Dell. They have a 250 gig which is actually 
cheaper than a 180 gig they have. The woman thinks 
the reason is, the higher gig one is a 3 something inch, while the 180 gig one 
is a 2 something inch. She said the higher gig one 
is not portable i.e you don't pop it into your bag. My question is, what does 
the size in inches refer to i.e height or width? Is 
there really much difference between them?
thanks Jason

It goes to how wide the platters are, IE their diameter.
