I see this written a lot, I thought it was 1/2 height for a drive, but when I look at the drive picture they look just the same.
Does anyone know?

so this means you can fit 3 1/3H drives in 2 regular cdrom size spaces?

er I think it has to do the way the drive reads and corrects erroro and not the size, since most of them are standard.
