SanDisk has unveiled the Extreme Fit USB-C, claiming it to be the “world’s smallest” USB-C flash drive with a capacity of one terabyte. This innovative device features an ultra-compact design and high transfer speeds, aiming to meet the needs of users seeking both portability and performance.
Compact Design Meets High Performance
The Extreme Fit USB-C is designed for compatibility with USB-C ports, featuring read speeds of up to 400 megabytes per second. SanDisk utilizes the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard, which requires compatible host systems for optimal performance. Measuring just 18.5 x 15.7 x 13.60 millimeters and weighing a mere three grams, the drive is small enough to fit seamlessly into the profile of most modern notebooks, allowing it to remain connected without the risk of damage.
In addition to the one terabyte option, the Extreme Fit USB-C is available in several other storage capacities, including 64 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB. SanDisk has set the official recommended retail price for the one terabyte model at $119.99. The entry-level 64 GB variant, while more affordable, provides a lower transfer speed of only 300 MB/s.
Market Position and Future Outlook
SanDisk’s new offering comes at a time when the demand for memory products is surging. The company advises potential buyers to act quickly, as prices are expected to rise due to a current shortage of NAND flash memory. Each version of the Extreme Fit USB-C is backed by a five-year manufacturer’s warranty, underscoring the company’s confidence in the product’s reliability.
As the trend toward larger storage capacities continues, SanDisk’s Extreme Fit USB-C positions itself as a leading option for consumers seeking a balance of size and speed. With its compact design and robust performance specifications, this flash drive is likely to attract attention from tech enthusiasts and everyday users alike.
