SanDisk Debuts World’s Smallest 1TB USB-C Flash Drive

Ultra-Compact Design Revolutionizes Portable Storage

SanDisk has unveiled the groundbreaking Extreme Fit USB-C flash drive, now available in a 1TB capacity while maintaining its title as the world’s smallest storage device of its kind. Measuring a minuscule 18.5 x 15.7 x 13.6 mm and weighing merely 3 grams, this plug-and-stay solution offers unprecedented portability for modern devices. The compact design makes it particularly suitable for sleek laptops and tablets including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and USB-C enabled iPads, where it can remain connected without obstructing adjacent ports.

Impressive Performance Meets Practical Limitations

The SanDisk Extreme Fit delivers USB 3.2 Gen 1 compatibility with read speeds reaching 400MB/s, enabling swift file transfers for documents, photos, and most media files. However, SanDisk explicitly advises against using this flash drive for high-bitrate video capture scenarios such as 4K 120fps ProRes recording, where sustained write speeds may prove insufficient. This positioning makes the device ideal for general storage expansion rather than professional-grade video production workflows.

Market Availability and Pricing Structure

Priced at $119.99 for the 1TB model, the SanDisk Extreme Fit represents a competitive option in the high-capacity portable storage market. The device is currently being rolled out in select markets, with global availability expected to expand in coming weeks. Technology analysts note this launch continues SanDisk’s tradition of pushing physical storage boundaries while meeting consumer demand for increasingly compact, high-capacity solutions in the USB-C ecosystem.
