5.75 in × 3.25 in × 8 in (146.1 mm × 82.55 mm × 203 mm). This smaller form factor, first used in an HDD by Seagate in 1980, was the same size as full-height 51⁄4 -inch-diameter (130 mm) FDD, 3.25-inches high. This is twice as high as "half height"; i.e., 1.63 in (41.4 mm). Most desktop models of drives for optical 120 mm disks (DVD, CD ...
8-inch floppy disk, inserted in drive, (3½-inch floppy diskette, in front, shown for scale) 3½-inch, high-density floppy diskettes with adhesive labels affixed The first commercial floppy disks, developed in the late 1960s, were 8 inches (203.2 mm) in diameter; [4] [5] they became commercially available in 1971 as a component of IBM products and both drives and disks were then sold ...
For 2.5-inch bays, actual dimensions are 2 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches (69.9 mm) wide, between 5 millimetres (0.20 in) and 3 ⁄ 4 inch (19.1 mm) high, and 3.955 inches (100.5 mm) deep. However, most laptops have drive bays smaller than the 15 mm specification. 2.5-inch hard drives may range from 7 mm to 15 mm in height.
Traditionally, the actual length of the shaku varied over time, location, and use. By the early 19th century, the shaku was largely within the range of 0.30175 to 0.303 meters (11.880 in to 11.929 in), [1] but a longer value of the shaku (also known as the kōrai-shaku) was also known, and was 1.17 times longer than the present value (35.5 centimeters or 14.0 inches).
