Does it work with Mac and Linux out of the box?

JOIOT lists it as plug-and-play with Windows, Mac, Android and Linux. The listing does not say how the drive is formatted at the factory, so check it on first use and reformat if your system needs a different file system.

It measures 64.5 x 27.9 x 9.9mm (2.54 x 1.1 x 0.39in) and weighs 0.88oz, and it comes with a storage bag for carrying.
