Why is 2.5'' hard disk cheaper than 3.5''

Viewnet pricelist

Internal
Seagate 3.5'' 4TB - RM 459

External
Seagate Backup Plus Hub 4TB 3.5''- RM539
Seagate Backup Slim 4TB 2.5'' - RM469

============================================

According to my personal experiences it was like

Internal 3.5'' < External 3.5'' < External 2.5'' (All 5400rpm)

and became

Internal 3.5'' (5400rpm) < Internal 3.5'' (7200rpm) ~ External 3.5'' (5400rpm) < External 2.5'' (5400rpm)

and became

Internal 3.5'' (5400rpm) ~ External 3.5'' (5400rpm) < Internal 3.5'' (7200rpm) < External 2.5'' (5400rpm)

and now

Internal 3.5'' (5400rpm) ~ External 2.5'' (5400rpm) < External 3.5'' (5400rpm) < Internal 3.5'' (7200rpm)

Am I missing something? For backup purpose should I stick with the 3.5'' or give 2.5'' a try? (All of my hard disks are 3.5'')
