I was going to post this myself but you beat me!

This can be had for $84.95 (plus shipping) by using promo code software15. I got one shipped to my house for $99 after tax and shipping. This is a smokin' deal for a NEW 400GB USB powered portable drive.

Except for the depth this is the exact same size as my Western Digital portable hard drive. It must be a 2.5" drive as you can't fit a larger one (or power it by USB) in that size enclosure.

Confirmed with online chat that the drive is 3.5".

Interesting...

Why is that a problem though? It's still fairly small and light.

Called the customer service and got confirmed it is 2.5 inside indeed. but one thing to note, it is an IDE harddrive, not SATA one.

I have an older Iomega and it's been great. It's a 2.5 drive that I bought in early 2003 and use it strictly for music at work, never had any problems with it.

It's quite contradictory.. There is no 2.5" pata ide 400gb drive..

As far as I know for IDE interface max is 250GB and 320GB for SATA (2.5" form factor). Perhaps this item has extra Flash memory.

Thats just a guess.

You can not fit a 3.5" drive into some that is 3.5" wide on the outside. Physically impossible.
