These drives tend to be thicker than the standard 2.5" slot (7 or 9 mm). Which is why they are only sold as external drives. You can't fit one in a laptop or third-party 2.5" enclosure.
The one you linked to is 20.5 mm thick and weighs 540 g including the enclosure. I'm not even sure whether there's a single 4 TB drive in there, since a pair of 2 TB, 7 mm Seagate drives would be both thinner and lighter.

- Stratoscope 9y agoThe article says it's a Seagate/Samsung Momentus ST4000LM016 drive. That would be single 15mm drive like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191749967307 http://www.ebay.com/itm/191749967307 Seagate also used to offer a "Backup Plus Fast 4TB" external drive that had a pair of 9.5mm 2TB drives in it: http://www.storagereview.com/seagate_backup_plus_fast_portable_review http://www.storagereview.com/seagate_backup_plus_fast_portab...
