Is Philips USB SSD 100% SSD or it's a hybrid

http://list.qoo10.sg/item/PHILIPS-PHILIPS-PHILIPS-SOLID-STATE-DRIVE/410333931

Q1:
Refer to the above url.   I've googled everywhere & the closest is Tom's Hardware
mentioning a 128GB Philips USB HDD but I don't see any reviews on whether the
above (or the 128GB or 512GB) Philips USB HDD is truly 100% SSD or it's a hybrid
(ie a mix of SSD & hard drive)?   Anyone know?

Q2:
If it's 100% SSD, is it on SATA 3 or SATA 6 or ?  interface?

Q3:
Based on Tom's url
"the company states that all three versions will be able to achieve
  read / write speeds of 240 MB/s and 140 MB/s", can anyone
guess if it's 100% SSD & which SATA type is used?

Q4:
If I were to dismantle the USB/shell casing, can this SSD be
mounted into my Macbook Pro 13" (Retina model)  ie will
need to be 2.5" size of 7mm thick?

Q5:
Can I safely say that SSD is more resistant to shock & humidity & 
warm temperature?  The place I stay is warm (can be 30 C) &
highly humid

It looks like sort of marketing gimmick to be that cheap:
if I click on "Buy Now", it won't go thru & I have to select
"Capacity" & that's when the site adds $210 to my purchase
price.  Care to try it or I'm mistaken?
