Not bad. I really hate the Micro USB 3 interface.

Doesn't matter if the hard dive purpose is for storing large amounts of data.
What? It's a portable drive that the user intends to carry in their pocket; I'm perplexed why you think "the purpose is for storing large amounts of data" somehow renders the device's physical size irrelevant.

Definitely worthwhile for storing photos and backing up old phone stuff- I use something similar

Not sure why your post got two "not helpful" --- knowing whether a drive is CMR or SMR is definitely good information and could be a determinant for some. SMR drives have a much higher failure rate, lower reliability and slower performance as well. SMR is Perfectly OK for many use cases. A drive that just sits in a corner and gets used once a month to make a backup or something, great. But it's not something you'd want to have in a machine that's on and used all the time IMO.

The price of storage had been dropping for a long time, but recently there's been a huge spike in storage (and memory) prices, tied mostly to AI driven demand (at least that's what I read, not sure if true). What used to be $100 is now $140. A year ago I would have scoffed at this drive at this price, but these days it's one of the better prices you'll see.

The purpose is irrelevant to the amount of data stored on it. It does not physically expand as more data is stored on it. The best way to determine if it fits in your pocket is to look at its dimensions and measure your pocket. Now, if you get all ones instead of zeros, it may get heavier.

I must be missing some joke here, because there's just no way multiple people are having trouble grasping a simple request for the product's physical size or my comment explaining that the driver's storage capacity doesn't somehow nullify one's need to know the physical dimensions.
