Designed for compact devices and mobile use

TheSandisk Extreme Fit USB-C flash drive has been developed to address the storage limitations of thin and lightweight computing devices. Many modern laptops and tablets prioritise portability and minimal design, which often limits built-in storage expansion.

This allows users to carry their devices while keeping the drive attached during routine activities such as commuting, attending meetings or moving between classrooms.

The device supports storage expansion without requiring cloud connectivity, enabling users to access files directly through the physical drive.

High-speed file transfer capability

According to the specifications provided by Sandisk:

• Read speeds reach up to 400MB/s for capacities ranging from 128GB to 1TB

• The 64GB variant offers up to 300MB/s read speeds

These speeds are designed to support the transfer of large files such as media content, documents and project files.

The drive connects through the USB-C interface, which has become a common standard across laptops, tablets and other computing devices.

• 64GB

Sandisk said the product was developed in response to the growing demand for compact storage that aligns with mobile computing habits.
