Do you need a USB 3.0 drive the size of your thumbnail or a pocketable SSD? Doubtful, but you’re probably going to like SanDisk’s new drives just the same.

The Ultra Fit USB 3.0 is about the size of the input found on any USB cable. SanDisk also managed to pack a surprising 128GB memory into the $120 Ultra Fit, all while delivering USB 3.0 transfer speeds.

The Extreme 500 is up to four times faster, says SanDisk.
