Without much fanfare, Sandisk has launched the rather oddly shaped Extreme Fit USB-C Flash Drive, which is intended as a storage upgrade for your laptop, rather than your typical removable USB drive. The blocky, rather tall, but flat device—it measures 18.50 x 15.70 x 13.60 mm—is meant to be left in your USB-C port, even when you carry your laptop around in your backpack, at least according to the product pictures on Sandisk's site. Sandisk also provides a backup app that will do automatic backups for you.

The Extreme Fit comes in sizes ranging from 64 GB to 1 TB, which makes this without a doubt the smallest physical drive to offer a whole terabyte of storage capacity. What's less impressive is the USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) interface; this feels quite dated for a device with this kind of storage capacity. Sandisk claims transfer speeds of up to 400 MB/s (from the 128 GB SKU and up) and offers a five-year warranty. The Extreme Fit is compatible with Windows, macOS and iPadOS according to the company. What's more surprising are the reasonable pricing, which starts at US$15 for the 64 GB drive and tops out at US$110 for the 1 TB version.
