The current HDD design dictates width, but it doesn't mean the consoles length or depth cannot be shortened some. Theres also a very obvious solution to this problem which is to make the HDD enclosure a two piece set where you can take the smaller piece out of the larger piece to fit it onto a slimline console.

 

Hmm...that is interesting.  Can you draw me a picture?

 

Sorry, im no good with pictures but it would essentially involve being able to unseat the HDD from the enclosure and inserting it into another. Imagine having a 2.5" external HDD inside another external housing. Heck, they could even transition to using the 1.8" form factor which is far smaller.

 

That could work.  Captain Kirk strikes again.
