Sandisk has introduced the Extreme Fit, a compact 1TB USB-C flash drive designed to remain plugged into a laptop permanently. The drive, slightly larger than a wireless mouse dongle, features an L-shaped design to fit into a USB-C port without protruding horizontally, ensuring a flush connection with laptops. This ‘leave-in design’ allows users to use it as a semi-permanent storage upgrade.
Available in capacities ranging from 64GB to 1TB, the 1TB model offers USB 3.2 Gen 1 support with transfer speeds of up to 400MB/s. While not the fastest drive, its compact size and high capacity make it a unique offering in the market. A 512GB version is also available, primarily in Japan.
Priced from $15.99 for the 64GB variant to $117.99 for the 1TB model, the Extreme Fit is currently accessible for purchase in the US and other regions. Users are advised to handle the drive carefully due to the delicate nature of USB-C connectors.
