FULL STORY
======================================================================

Sandisks 1TB Extreme Fit USB-C Flash Drive ( currently $110, down from $120 ) 
reaches up to 400MB/s read speeds on a USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection, and can sit 
in a MacBook Pro or Windows laptop port with almost no overhang. 

That means you can enjoy large, fast, always-available storage without 
worrying the drive getting bumped, snagged, or otherwise accidentally 
damaged. I've broken a couple of full-sized flash drives over the years, so I 
know firsthand how easy it is to do. 

Using published dimensions and simple volume maths, the Sandisk Extreme Fit 
USB-C drive works out at roughly 4060 cubic millimeters. 

Its tiny, sure, but I've found five even smaller plug and stay drives. While 
none of these reach 1TB of storage, they do have other benefits (including 
being cheap), which makes them worth considering. Best tiny USB flash drives 

Hiksemis HS USB S450 Type-C stick is one of the closest in spirit to 
SanDisk's drive. Its 10.6 x 20 x 13.5mm shell adds up to about 2860 cubic 
millimeters, close to 30% less material than the Sandisk unit, and it comes 
in 128GB and 256GB versions (so much smaller, capacity-wise) with USB 3.2 
speeds up to 450MB/s read. View Deal 

The Twopan Nano SSD 256GB ($99.99) is an ultra-compact USB-C external drive, 
measuring just 9.65mm x 14.22 mm. and weighing only 0.18 ounces, it has a 
built-in fingerprint encryption for secure, fast access, making it a good, 
portable, privacy-focused option for everyday storage and backups. View Deal 

Verbatims Store 'n' Stay Nano USB 3.2 stick targets older MacBook Pro models 
or users with a USB-A hub. Its 0.69 x 0.56 x 0.31 inch body (roughly 17.5 x 
14.2 x 7.9mm), comes to about 1960 cubic millimeters, around half the volume 
of the Sandisk drive, with 64GB of storage for documents and media. View Deal 

For raw compactness, the DSLRKIT 64GB nano drive is hard to ignore. It 
measures 16.7 x 12.2 x 2.3mm, only about 470 cubic millimeters, meaning it 
barely sticks out from a USB-A port, although speeds top out at around 
21MB/s. View Deal 

The UnionSine USB-C External SSD 512GB ($51.28) is a compact, fast flash 
drive offering up to 450MB/s transfers for phones, laptops, tablets, and even 
in-car media systems. View Deal
