Fantasitc thing..

This hard drive, like the others said, is very small. But as small it is, it is super fast and quiet. Even the seek noise is inaudible! Since it's so small, i now have room for even more drives!

Definitely 3.5" - not a laptop drive

The previous poster clearly knows very little about hard drives.
This model uses a single platter which is the reason the drive is smaller in height than other drives.

This is actually 2.5 inch

I brought this for a new computer build, and thought ok this seems a bit smaller inside of the case. I got out my 1.5tb hard drive same make, and low and behold, this drive is much smaller than any other drive I have had before. Maybe Dabs should address this.
