    Not that easy... From wikipedia:

    2.5-inch
    2.75 in × 0.275–0.75 in × 3.945 in (69.85 mm × 7–19 mm × 100 mm) = 48.895–132.715 cm3. This smaller form factor was introduced by PrairieTek in 1988;[114] there is no corresponding FDD. The 2.5-inch drive format is standardized in the EIA/ECA-720 co-published as SFF-8201; when used with specific connectors, more detailed specifications are SFF-8212 for the 50-pin (ATA laptop) connector, SFF-8223 with the SATA, or SAS connector and SFF-8222 with the SCA-2 connector.[115]
    It came to be widely used for HDDs in mobile devices (laptops, music players, etc.) and for solid-state drives (SSDs), by 2008 replacing some 3.5 inch enterprise-class drives.[116] It is also used in the PlayStation 3[117] and Xbox 360[118] video game consoles.
    Drives 9.5 mm high became an unofficial standard for all except the largest-capacity laptop drives (usually having two platters inside); 12.5 mm-high drives, typically with three platters, are used for maximum capacity, but will not fit most laptop computers. Enterprise-class drives can have a height up to 15 mm.[119] Seagate released a 7 mm drive aimed at entry level laptops and high end netbooks in December 2009.[120] Western Digital released on April 23, 2013 a hard drive 5 mm in height specifically aimed at UltraBooks.[121]


    I want a 2 or 3 GB, so therefor I need to know max height.

    12.5mm high seagate 2.5" 2tb fitted just fine for me, taken from a seagate expansion portable 2tb. Probably the same drive as bellejt fitted.
