Does anyone have a picture showing the size comparison of laptop vs desktop hdd sizes? I am doing an xbox mod and need a tiny hdd but want to see how much smaller a 2.5" is rather than a 3.5"

The typical 3.5" form factor hard drive is around 4" in width, 5.7" in length, and just over an inch in height.

The typical 2.5" form factor hard drive is around 2.75" in width, 4" in length, and .375" in height.

All sizes are approximate and will vary slightly by drive size and manufacturer.
