Whenever possible, for those seeking additional info or specs, we try to include links to the product page(s) for the drive that is the topic of the article. The ‘z’ height of the 2.5″ DC S3610 1.2TB and 1.6TB is 7mm.

Scroll down to the “technical specifications” section for that and more good info about the drive(s).

I can not see any description about the size. 7 mm or 9.5 mm? There are some samples of 2 TB 2.5″ SSDs on the market. And according to Sandisk it is possibe to produce 4 TB 2.5″ SSD. Only obstacle is Controller. Higher capacities need more powerful controllers. I am sure thanks to new IMTF 16NM class or Toshiba 15 NM class NAND it will be possible to produce 6 – 8 TB 2.5″ SSD drives in 9.5 mm or even in 7mm. It will not matter if they are 15mm. In any case SSD drives will be much better than the HDD drives. A 2.5″ HDD drive can store up to 4 platter maximum and they will reach up to 3 TB max (750 GB per platter). And this drive will be 15mm wide.

On the other hand a 3.5″ HDD drive can store up 8 TB.

It is clear that if you want to produce a 3.5″ SSD drive with 15NM Toshiba MLC NAND and if the wideness is not matter then it is possible to produce up 20TB drives may be more.

I am sorry Less. I am not an IT expert. Please correct me here if I am wrong. I only make a guess.

So I want to say that “SSD drives can store more and more data than the HDD drives in any form factor (2.5″ or 3.5”). And SSD drives can be thinner than HDD Drives in any form factors. And SSD drives can be produced as MSATA or M2 form factor but they are imoossible for the HDD drives. It is also possible to produce stamp size 256 GB incredible fast PCIe SSD drives. https://www.techpowerup.com/208695/toshiba-to-showcase-worlds-first-pci-express-single-package-ssd.html

On the other hand SSD drives store the data on the fly. That means you will not wait seconds to be able to reach your files in your drives. Even the fastest HDD Drive can not be as fast ass the slowest SSD drive. Even the the fastest HDD drives (SAS 12 GB, 15.500 rpm…) can not reach the speeds of a simple SATA III SSD drive. Not only SATA III but also SATA II SSD drives have more IOPS rates than any fastest HDD Drives.

SSD means “more and more capacity, more and more speed, more and more convenient form factors and sizes, more and more reliability, more and more silence, more and more portability, more and more coolness, more and more power efficiency and more….”

I bought my SSD drive approximately three years ago and HDD drives are over for me after that. Internal or external.
There are many SSD alternatives on the market to store your data or to use as your main drive.

It is possible to use a CF card or SD card or micro SD card or Storage Expansion Card to store your data in your lapto/PC.
