The device does look stylish in the packing of the device. The dimensions of the device is 110.9 x 37.2mm x 10.8mm. It is in a very styslish case looking similar to the finish and color as that of the Mac. There is also an LED indicator on this device. We liked the packaging of the device. The box also has Torx screwdrivers for fitting the SSD to your Mac.

The connection bandwidth for USB 3.0 is upto 5 Gb/s and for USB 2.0 is upto 480 Mb/s. The flash type of the SSD is Synchonous MLC.
