2.5-inch drive

A 2.5-inch drive is a type of hard drive or solid-state drive (SSD) commonly used in laptops and portable devices. The "2.5-inch" measurement refers to the physical width of the drive, making it smaller and more compact than desktop drives, which are typically 3.5 inches. These drives provide storage for saving files, applications, and operating systems, offering a balance of capacity, speed, and portability. Their compact size makes them ideal for mobile computing, allowing devices to be lightweight and portable without sacrificing storage capabilities.
