It is smaller than the Seagate one. I don't know exactly but It think it is about 1.8". I might be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might be wrong. 70215[/snapback] um i think i was reading a little about it somewhere... toms hardware i think although that was early in the morning so im not 100% sure what it said lol... mini HDD's have an advantage over flash in they they normally store more data, howver they are normally heavier even this 5gb one is probably heavier than my flash drive..... i guess its what you need it for, if you do stransfer lots of data then a portable hdd would be handy but if your like most of us and just have a few MP3's and small picture and txt files then the extra cost is not realy worth it, the only time i can see myself really using a heavy full portavle hdd is for backup up my hdd but how often do you do that (not often enough im guessing) you really have to look at what you need it for and how much use your going to get out of it.... i know its strange but i could probably get away with a 30c 1.4mb floppy drive rather than my 256mb memory stick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
