Yes it would be small but still much larger than a USB stick. The connections also work differently. This is SATA and the other is USB 3, it just cannot achieve the same speeds yet

I suggest you read more about the 2 interfaces and size relativity before making comments like that.

Had this ssd on my new desktop build, worked 5 days and it burned, apparently this one was a part of bad batch, many of them has been returned at the same time. Better pay little more for some samsung evo drive!

Great deal! You would probably pay double that price for the same capacity elsewhere! Have some heat...
