Sandisk launched the Extreme Fit, claiming it's the world's smallest 1TB USB-C flash drive. The L-shaped device is designed to stay plugged into laptops permanently, protruding vertically rather than horizontally to remain flush with the device. It offers capacities from 64GB to 1TB with transfer speeds up to 400MB/s using USB 3.2 Gen 1. Pricing ranges from $15.99 for 64GB to $117.99 for the 1TB model, now available in the US and other markets.

Sandisk’s new 1TB USB-C SSD is so small you never need to take it out

I can see many laptops going in for repair with damaged ports if they don’t take them out.

Extra information: Due to its size, this SSD is designed for read-intensive, not write-intensive use, as excessive writing can lead to overheating and write speed throttling.

It’s not SSD, it’s a flash drive.

“Correction, November 11th: Updated headline to reflect that it’s a flash drive, not an SSD.”

to me even a normal nvme inserted in a portable usb device is enough as both are pocket size and this one will have heating issue
