Post Portable Hard Drive


Need a portable USB hard drive which has a REALLY SMALL FORM FACTOR.

Can someone advice which is the smallest of the lot? Capacity is not a problem.
Anything close to 40GB or more will do. But it must be hard drive based and not
a flash pen-drive, and must be really really small!

2.5" casings aren't available since a laptop hdd wouldn't fint inside it (they're 3.5"). if u want yet smaller ones, u can get branded portable hdds (not the laptop hdd in case type). they'll be much more expensive.

@choto_cheeta : yes, thats exactly what i was referring to. i got a 80gb hdd for 2.4k and the external case (Zippys) for rs200. total rs 2.6k

But we all know a laptop hdd fits inside a 2.5" portable drive

The regular hdds require 3.5" drive.
