How to typeset dimensions of a box?

I want to typeset something like this: 3.0 × 3.0 × 0.9 mm
How can I do that in LaTeX (using siunitx package)?
So far, I have this:
num{3.0} × num{3.0} × SI{0.9}{millimetre}
But probably someone else knows a better solution.

Shouldn't it be3 x 3 x 0.9 mm^3, since the expression describes a volume, not a length?

@Jake, strictly speaking, you are right. But in this context I was only interested in the length dimensions of a box, and not its volume.

You can also move that to your preamble, by givingsisetup{product-units = single}, so you don't have to give the option every time.
– Karl

And don't forget you can writeSI[product-units=power]{2 x 3 x 4}{millimetre}if you are interested in the volume (I know you aren't).
