SanDisk Extreme Fit USB-C 1TB

Choose the SanDisk Extreme Fit USB-C 1TB for compact everyday carry between devices with supported USB-C connections.123

Why this one

  • It holds 1TB in a 3 g body with a stated longest dimension of 18.54 mm, giving you a large file collection to carry without the 82.17 mm, 12 g body of the Kingston DataTraveler Max 1TB.1245
  • Its five-year warranty matches the Kingston 1TB’s stated term; the SanDisk’s lower advertised read ceiling of 400 MB/s is the transfer-rating tradeoff.135

Buying advice

  • Match the plug and operating system to your devices; choose a dual USB-A/USB-C drive when files regularly move between those two ports.38

For locking files behind a password

For private files, check which files the password feature covers, which software it requires and whether it works on the systems you use before relying on it.22 Choose the SanDisk Ultra Flair 512GB for its advertised password-protection feature only when its supported software and setup meet those needs; it uses a USB-A connector.2225
