The drive measures only 18.5 \u00d7 13.7 \u00d7 16 millimeters and weighs a mere 3 grams, making it about the size of a wireless mouse dongle. Its compact size makes it highly portable and tempting to leave plugged in indefinitely.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, long-term attachment does come with a warning. USB-C connectors are relatively fragile, and because the drive sticks out slightly, it could be bent or damaged if it catches on something inside a bag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"SANDISK\u00ae Extreme Fit\u2122 USB-C\u00ae Flash Drive\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tsFR6P4vTPg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><b>Storage Capacities and Compatibility<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>SanDisk offers the Extreme Fit in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB capacities. The flash drive works with both macOS and Windows machines and is meant to serve as convenient, always-available on-device storage.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Performance Limitations<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The tiny form factor comes with trade-offs. The Extreme Fit uses USB 3.2 Gen 1, which caps maximum transfer speeds at up to 400MB\/s for all models except the 64GB version, which is even slower.<\/p>\n<p>These speeds are adequate for general file storage, photo backups, and light video use, but the drive is not fast enough for editing high-resolution video footage directly from it.<\/p>\n<p>Photographers and videographers who need real performance should consider more capable portable SSDs such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imaging-resource.com\/news\/owc-launches-a-new-portable-external-storage-device-the-owc-express-1m2-80g-portable-ssd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OWC Express 1M2 80G Portable SSD<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imaging-resource.com\/review\/lacie-rugged-ssd4-we-freeze-drop-soak-and-drive-over-this-adventure-proof-device\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LaCie Rugged SSD4<\/a>, both of which offer vastly superior transfer speeds and durability.
