Alternatively, why aren't they all so small?
Less than 4" x 1 1/4" x 1/3".

Is it a real HDD, a spinner, with a rotating platter? It calls it a
harddrive more than once, and never uses SSD, etc. but it's so small.

What about that it has no brand name? Would you buy it for a backup
drive?


For file backup, is a real 2.5" external drive better for backup?
external 2.5" HDD, SSD, 3.5" HDD in a dock

No offense, but why even consider stuff from weird merchants which
peddle their stuff via Amazon!?

Don't you have *reputable* webshops in the US?

Have you even seen the 'name' of the merchant?

'qingyuanshiyongxinxiecaibaozhuangyouxiangongsi'? Give me a break!
(At least that's what it says when using your URL from The Netherlands.)

It doesn't matter how 'cheap' it is, I would never trust my data to
fishy no-name stuff like that, especially not from a fishy merchant.

Unbelievable.

Google Translate could do that one.

"Qingyuan Intentions Xie Cai Packing Co., Ltd."

Golly, I knew there was one language that Goo translate could translate
from a transliteration to the latin alphabet, but I didn' think Chinese
would be one of them.

The first word may have been intended to be "Clear"
as in "Clear Intentions". Just fiddling with the
translate box a bit.

I don't think so. Qingyuan is a city.
