DimensionsiLength is the long side. Height is the thickness, including a fitted heatsink. As the maker publishes it. A maximum counts. Length is the long side even when the maker lists the width first.

WeightiDrive alone, with a heatsink when it is sold fitted. No cable and no packaging. As the maker publishes it. A maximum counts. Not a measured weight.

The hang card packaging has its own 0.11 lbs / 53 g figure, which is not stored. The peer-median warning of the validator is expected, since most peers are M.2 drives and a 2.5 inch 7 mm SATA drive weighs about 40 to 50 g
