Sandisk has released what it says is the world\u2019s smallest 1TB USB-C flash drive, one tiny enough to plug into a laptop and never take out.<\/p>\n
The Extreme Fit is just a little bigger than the wireless dongle for my Logitech mouse. It\u2019s L-shaped, slotting into a USB-C port but sticking up ever so slightly vertically, rather than out horizontally, to keep it flush when plugged into a laptop (though it does stick out just enough to make sure the laptop lid won\u2019t hit it on the way down!).<\/p>\n
Sandisk describes it as a \u201cleave-in design,\u201d suggesting you can use it as a permanent-ish storage upgrade for your PC. You\u2019ll want to be careful when lugging your laptop around though \u2014 the thin design should reduce the risk of the drive catching on other objects and snapping in the process, but USB-C connectors are fragile, and not designed to withstand much force in that direction.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s available in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB versions, though it\u2019s 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) \u2014 it\u2019s no speed demon, though that\u2019s hardly the point.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t need the full terabyte, Suneast<\/a> released an even smaller equivalent in May, which caps at 512GB \u2014 but it\u2019s only available in Japan. Sandisk\u2019s model, on the other hand, is available to order now<\/a> in the US and elsewhere, starting at $15.99 for 64GB and rising to $117.99 for 1TB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sandisk has released what it says is the world\u2019s smallest 1TB USB-C flash drive, one tiny enough to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[18,282,19,17,5,753,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-175110","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-gadgets","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-tech","14":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115531662265948310","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
