The world's smallest USB drive has more storage than an iPhone 17
↗
SanDisk's Extreme Fit USB-C drive offers up to 1TB of storage in the smallest form factor available, exceeding the capacity of the latest iPhone's top configuration.
For engineers and developers, this device provides a low-profile, high-capacity storage solution that can remain plugged into laptops or mobile devices without obstruction. The trade-off is speed, it won’t replace NVMe SSDs for high-throughput workloads, but it’s a practical option for portable, cost-effective storage. The design also signals advancements in miniaturized hardware integration, which may influence future peripheral development.
