One, it doesn’t look like that normally. They only opened everything up to show that it has both USB-A and USB-C plugs. In normal use you would only have one end open at a time, only the one you’re using. When not in use, it would be a rectangular block…just like any other USB stick drive.
Two, “way too large” really doesn’t make any sense. You can see from the picture that it isn’t much larger than the plugs! Sure, there are very short USB flash drives out there, I have a couple of Samsungs like that. But most USB stick drives are slow, with read/write under 300MB/sec and write often below 50MB/sec. This one claims up to 946MB/sec, which is USB 3 gen 2 (10Mb/sec). It is rare, very rare, to find a USB stick drive this fast, so for that speed, this is not a large drive at all.
If you don’t have computers with both USB-A and USB-C, then of course, you buy a super compact stick drive with just one plug type. But if you have older and newer Macs like I do, and you are always looking for a USB-C adapter to make the stick drive work with a new Mac, then this looks like a good option because you don’t have to go look for the adapter, while also being significantly faster than most USB flash drives if that speed holds up in real world use.
- I don’t consider this large either. It appears the USB-A portion is an adapter and sooner or later could be permanently removed. What I would like to see is a TB version in the same size package. This version would be without the USB-A plug.
