If you’re looking for a simple way to increase your laptop’s storage capacity, SanDisk has released what could be a must-have item in the form of the SanDisk Extreme Fit. Not only will this USB-C flash drive add a ton of storage, it’s also super tiny and convenient to use.
Starting at $26 over at Amazon, this SanDisk Extreme Fit is available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB variants. The latter 1TB option is $119, which can be pricier than other 1TB flash drives. However, given this drive’s unique design, you’re getting your money’s worth.
Since this drive is so small and unintrusive, you can permanently leave it plugged into your desktop PC or laptop without worrying (too much) about damaging it or your computer. That’s because the design helps it better conform to your device’s shape than a standard flash drive stick. The drive still sticks out, but not by much. I also like how the side of the drive looks like a display.

The Extreme Fit has transfer speeds of up to 400MB/s. That’s not blazing fast compared to SSDs with over 10GB/s speeds, but certainly good for a small thumb drive like this. It will take longer to transfer big files like videos, but if you’re just moving documents or small photo files around, then you shouldn’t be inconvenienced.

Except for the 256GB model that’s currently discounted at time of writing, this SanDisk USB flash drive isn’t on sale across the board. However, with Black Friday fast approaching, it’s possible that we could see a significant discount for all variants of this device. If that happens, we’ll let you know since this is a product many people will no doubt find useful.
Though I don’t often have to transfer files since I upload almost everything to the cloud, there have been times when I could have used a simple thumb drive like this one — especially on the best laptops lacking an SD card reader. Perhaps I’ll buy one (or two) of these to beef up my storage.
