SanDisk has unveiled its latest innovation, the Extreme Fit USB-C, claiming it to be the “world’s smallest” USB-C flash drive with a remarkable capacity of 1 terabyte. This new device stands out not only for its compact design but also for its impressive read speeds of up to 400 megabytes per second.
The Extreme Fit USB-C is designed specifically for USB-C ports, leveraging USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology to achieve its high transfer rates. Users must ensure that their host systems are compatible with this standard to take full advantage of the drive’s capabilities. Measuring just 18.5 x 15.7 x 13.60 millimeters and weighing a mere three grams, the drive is engineered to fit seamlessly with most modern laptops, allowing it to remain inserted without risk of damage.
Storage Options and Pricing
SanDisk offers various storage options for the Extreme Fit USB-C, including 64 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, and, of course, the 1 TB model. The recommended retail price for the 1 TB version in the United States is set at $119.99. In contrast, the entry-level model with 64 GB provides a lower transfer rate of 300 MB/s. All variants come with a five-year manufacturer’s warranty.
As the demand for memory products increases, potential buyers are advised to act quickly. The current shortage of NAND flash memory is likely to drive prices higher in the near future. With its combination of size, speed, and storage capacity, the Extreme Fit USB-C positions itself as an attractive option for both casual users and professionals seeking reliable, portable data solutions.
