SanDisk’s new (1TB) USB-C is extreme tiny and light
The "Extreme Fit" is designed so you can keep it in your laptop for as long as you need it.
SanDisk has released what the company says is the world’s smallest 1TB USB-C flash drive – so small that it can be plugged into a laptop and never removed. The “Extreme Fit” is slightly larger than Logitech’s wireless mouse adapter.
It’s L-shaped and plugs into a USB-C port, but it protrudes slightly vertically instead of horizontally so that it sits flat when connected to your laptop (though it does protrude enough that your laptop lid won’t touch it!).
SanDisk describes it as a “leave-in design,” meaning it can be used as permanent storage for your computer. Be careful when carrying your laptop, though-the slim design should reduce the risk of the drive getting caught on other objects and breaking, but USB-C connectors are fragile and aren’t designed to withstand much force in that direction.
It’s available in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB versions, though it’s that high capacity model that stands out. It uses USB 3.2 Gen 1, with transfer speeds of up to 400MB/s (or 300MB/s on the 64GB model) – it’s no speed demon, though that’s hardly the point.
If you don’t need the full terabyte, Suneast released an even smaller equivalent in May, which caps at 512GB – but it’s only available in Japan. SanDisk’s model, on the other hand, is available to order now in the US and elsewhere, starting at $15.99 for 64GB and rising to $117.99 for 1TB.
