Well, unless my eyes are deceiving me, this does NOT look very "ultra-compact" to me, IF the posted pics are anything to go by....

In fact, it is considerably larger than any of the other portable drives I own.....

Well you need a minimum size for a 22x80mm SSD. So the enclosure is at least 2,5cm wide and 10cm long with the connector. The thickness is about 1cm.

What is funny is the drop resistance of 3 meters. The enclosure might survive that but they can't guarentee that the solderballs will survive that impact.

If they truely want to make a small custom one, they could use a 2230 and make it smaller by using a custom PCB...
