2.5" inch is the standard laptop hard drive size. They vary by thickness usually. A 3.5" drive would be for a magnetic desktop hard drive. A 1.8" or micro sata have different interfaces.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe the dimension refers to the 'platter diameter'. 2.5" is the size usually used in laptops, whereas desktop computers typically have a 3.5" hard disk. This enclosure is a SATA enclosure, with a USB 3.0 connection (10-pin Micro USB).

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The actual disk size is 2.5 inches. An enclosure will be larger.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.2.5 is the DISK platter size... So your housing will be a little bigger... The next size up is 3.5" It is SATA and will work with HDD or SDD with a SATA connection. 2.5" are the LAPTOP sized drives (3.5" are the desktop sized)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's the housing. It accepts standard SATA (serial ATA) 2.5" drives - either SSD or spinning. The enclosure is slightly wider than the drive so it slides in easily.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.2.5" refers to the disc size in the hard drive.
