RE: Clik internal drive in perspective.

I don't know about you, but when I read 3.37in. x 2.126in. x .256in., I have a hard time picturing the device. Sure, I see that it's small, but until I started comparing it to other things, I didn't realize how small.

I have an audio cassette tape sitting on my desk. I got out my handy-dandy tape measure and found that the cassette's dimensions are 4 1/8 x 2 1/2 X 1/2. TWO Clik drives could fit in an audio cassette case. With room to spare!

I had a tin of Altoids sitting on my desk, too. Its dimensions are 3 3/4 x 2 3/8 x 3/4. THREE Clik drives could fit in the case, with room to spare!

I have an internal Zip IDE drive (which is very small in and of itself) sitting on my desk. Its dimensions are 6 3/8 x 4 x 1. You could make a stack of Clik drives 2 x 1 x 4 (that's EIGHT drives!) and still take up less space than the little Zip IDE drive.

I have an internal CD ROM drive sitting on my desk. Its dimensions are 8 x 5 3/4 x 1 5/8. You could fit over 30 Clik drives in the same space.

Absolutely amazing!
