That a ever so little slimmer than your typical SSD ?.
Most are these days. They tend to come with little plastic brackets that go around the perimeter of the drive and then make the drive thicker so they fit in most enclosures/carriages.

dont get it... the enclosure has a regular SSD,

Regards,

Yours looks to be a 5mm drive in height, most "older" drives are 7mm+

Which made me wounder if you could fit other SSD's ( 7mm ) in that casing.

Just was curious lol.

I got the 120 GB version (several of them, in fact) that all did. Yet Kingston has changed what SSD is under that there label many times, and has many different levels of packaging too.

Kingston are pretty reliable in my books, and offer decent pricing, too, in every segment of the SSD market.

But like I said, they have many different versions of the same "model" at times (the V300 was a bad one for this), and that I dislike, since they swapped out flash for much slower stuff. I noticed this when going to replace a problematic unit, getting a new one to throw in, and then having to go back for complaints about it being slow. Took some serious digging to find out the real cause of the slowdowns...

While these kits are still covered by G.SKILLs lifetime warranty, i don't plan to RMA these even if they eventually fail. However since the model stickers are the only way to tell the modules and kits apart, they can stay on there forever ;)

My best stick of Hynix MFR after spending a few minutes buried in Dry Ice. Only managed to get a little over 3Ghz out of it even with ridiculously loose timings because I spent too much time trying to get MSI's direct OC working after I had the stick frozen. I do plan to retest some time soon since I have the OS fully setup at last.
