Sandisk’s Extreme Fit 1TB USB-C Flash Drive (currently $110, down from $120) achieves read speeds of up to 400MB/s over a USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection and can be installed in a MacBook Pro or Windows laptop port with almost no overhang.
This means you can enjoy large, fast, and always-available storage without worrying about the drive being bumped, snagged, or accidentally damaged. I’ve broken a few full-size USB drives over the years, so I know how easy it is to do.
It’s small, sure, but I found five plug and stay drives even smaller. While none of them come in at 1TB of storage, they have other benefits (including their low cost) that make them worth considering.
