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


Some specs it claims:

Upgraded Type-C/USB3.1 Gen 1 HDD brings fast transmission speed up to
100MB/S.
Speed: 400MB/S
Widely compatible with 99% of PC systems.
Shockproof and anti-drop design to prolong service life.


All that indicate it is not rotating rust. It has to be SSD or nvme if
it is not a scam.


The reviews contain a lot of text that are not for this device. Several
reports are for "car indicators", for example.

Sound fishy.
