SanDisk has introduced the Extreme Fit, a remarkably small USB-C flash drive offering up to 1 terabyte (TB) of storage in a form factor designed for permanent connection to laptops or other devices. This eliminates the need for bulkier external drives while providing high-capacity portable storage.
Key Specs and Pricing
The Extreme Fit is available in five sizes: 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. Current sale prices on the SanDisk website range from approximately $15 for the 64GB version to $110 for the 1TB model. All sizes except the 64GB variant achieve read speeds of up to 400 megabits per second (Mbps), making it a fast option for data transfer.
Design for Always-On Use
The flash drive’s diminutive size—it’s designed to remain plugged into a USB port without obstructing adjacent ports—makes it ideal for users who require continuous access to large files. SanDisk suggests that its shape allows it to stay connected even while devices are in transit. It operates using USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology, ensuring compatibility with modern ports.
Software and Warranty
SanDisk bundles the Extreme Fit with its Memory Zone software, which is available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. This software enables automated backups and streamlined file management across multiple platforms. The flash drive also comes with a five-year warranty, providing added peace of mind for long-term usage.
This new release from SanDisk provides a solution for users who demand high-capacity portable storage in the smallest possible footprint, making it an effective alternative to larger external hard drives. The persistent connectivity option is a practical feature for professionals and travelers alike.
