The world's smallest USB drive has more storage than an iPhone 17

The SanDisk Extreme Fit USB drive, touted as the world's smallest, offers more storage capacity than even the top iPhone 17 model. This diminutive drive, priced between $30 for 64GB and $219 for 1TB, has captured attention due to its budget-friendly storage solutions amid soaring memory and storage costs. At just 0.73 x 0.54 x 0.63 inches and weighing a mere 0.1 ounces, the Extreme Fit is as small as it is impressive.

SanDisk describes it as a 'plug-and-stay' device, promising discreet storage expansion for laptops. The company credits its miniature size to a proprietary interposer board allowing a vertical USB-C connector design. While not reaching NVMe speeds, the drive boasts read speeds up to 400 MB/s across models ranging from 128GB to 1TB, with the smallest 64GB drive clocking in at 300 MB/s.
