Good SSD, bad for Pi

This drive is small and works well as a portable SSD. However, some of the comments and ratings are wrong: This drive is NOT suitable for booting the Raspberry Pi. I believe the sector size is the reason: the Pi needs 512 and this drive needs 4096. As far as I can tell this can't be changed and the Pi doesn't see a bootable drive.

Pros

Dope 🔥

Cons

Not as thick as other options
