    You dont really get a sense for how small this is until you hold it in your hand


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its much smaller than the sandisk ssd that has the weird loop at the top and is also thinner than the sandisk

    Im using this for time machine purposes on a mac

    I went with an ssd because time machine requires apfs formatting which doesnt work well these days with spinning hds
