Why are drives/memory/disks with more storage not physically bigger?

696 views

A hard drive is the same physical size if it has 1 Tb to 5 Tb, same with memory sticks, usb drives, SD cards. It would seem logical that memory/storage “modules” hold a specific amount of data, and you just need more of them to store more data.

Internally that is how it works, but the outside dimensions are standardised so you have single sized hole needed to fit it in your computer.
