This is a perfect solution to your Chromebook. Not a maxed out Chromebook but your browsing around Chromebook for downloads etc. You can always use Drive but it starts to cost monthly.

Came pre-formatted with the exFAT file system so it worked with Debian Linux, macOS 14, and Windows 11 for me and will work with other systems that recognize exFAT, too.

This Ultra Fit was very small but worked great. Files and music were simple to transfer and play back had no issues.
The big issue is that it broke in a little over a month of use. The plastic loop that is attached at the end cracked and within a day fell off and now the actual Drive is cracked at the seam at the top. Very flimsy and would not purchase again.
Unfortunately, the return date has passed. I have had to tape it together in order to be able to safely remove it from my computer/stereo - and this was with normal usage and never dropping it or stepping on it.
I would not recommend this product. Get something sturdier until they figure out how to make these compact flash drives more sturdier.

Compact flash drive that's great for students

The SanDisk UltraFit flash drive is pretty much the smallest flash drive you can get. It’s amazing that this little thing fits 128 GBs. It’s black, says SanDisk and has a ring you can use to attach it to a keyring. The price is moderate for a 128 GB flash drive, but the more reasonable alternatives are usually larger and USB 2.0 or 3.0, not 3.1 like this one. Something to keep in mind, if you’re looking for a faster experience.
On my first day, I transferred a variety of files. One was a folder with 7.91 GBs containing 1580 files. It took 11 minutes to transfer from an SSD. I also transferred a 3.54 GB video file in 1 minute and 14 seconds from my Fusion Drive.
The SanDisk UltraFit comes with a software called Flashback, and it’s designed to back up everything on the flash drive. Luckily, you get one year for free. After that, you pay $4.99 a year for 128 GBs. Before installing, I removed the 3.54 GB video file, leaving only the 7.91 GBs of content. It took about an hour and a half for it to back up. A small complaint here, is that it only tells you the percentage, not the time remaining, like Dropbox does. I like knowing how much time it’s going to take, even if it’s not completely accurate. I had to leave a few minutes after the backup was complete, so time was of the essence.
Who is this flash drive for? The biggest draw to this flash drive is its speed, portability and the ability to back up the whole drive at a reasonable price. That should sound advantageous to any student who’s looking for a compact flash drive to save their documents on. It is not advertised as being waterproof, so I assume it’s not, but if you by any chance, lose the drive, you have a backup in the cloud, that you can access without the drive itself. That should be a comforting feeling to anyone.
I highly recommend this flash drive. As a repeat SanDisk customer, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

The image makes the flash drive look big but it is actually so tiny one received. I just recommend that you be very careful to not misplace. The price was good due to my points.

Capacity is great. Small profile is great. That claimed 130MB is read speed. Please note... write speeds state UP TO 15X over USB 2 speeds. Key words here are UP TO.
I use this device to store flac music files for playback in my car. I have plugged this drive into USB 2, 3 & 3.1 ports for writing purposes. I have seen extremely marginal performance differences between USB 3 & 3.1 (fluctuates between 35 - 55 MB when writing anywhere from 200MB - 2GB at a time). On a USB 2 port I get speeds around 20 MB on average. I will post test results and adjust figures as needed later as I am going from memory at this point.
On another point, the frame of this no longer appears to be made of metal. I would say it is made of some type of composite material. I believe this was done with a purpose on the manufacturer to alleviate the heat issues with the previous model (which I also own) While it still gets warm while writing, it no longer gets hot to the touch like the previous model did. The heat dissipates much quicker. Given that, I do worry about the longevity and duability of this device should it have to be used and plugged in frequently in many devices.

Speedy and high capacity

Overall, I'm happy with this USB drive. Its small, has a good capacity and performs well. Due to its small size, you should attach it securely to something(maybe a lanyard or key ring) so you don't lose it.
Its a little faster than similar models from PNY. The PNY models are larger and have a slower read speed(100-105 MB/s) when plugged into the same port.

Very small and portable USB. Almost the size of a fingernail. Plugs and unplugs easily. Good storage. Easy to use software. I Would recommend this if you need external storage but not a lot or you just need a small convenient USB for on the go work. So small you might lose it so be careful

This little guy is a mixed bag. It is a USB 3.1 drive and VERY small. It’s so small that if you want to leave it plugged into your laptop, it won’t stick out where it’s likely to get hit. That’s good since the entire body, including the part that inserts into the USB port, is plastic.
It is USB 3.1 compliant and has a potential read speed of around 130 MB/s and write speed of 50 MB/s. In my tests, it appears to throttle the speed when writing large transfers or large files. The earlier versions of this drive had over-heating problems, so it’s possible this has been designed in to protect the plastic drive and your computer port.
This is one of the drives that includes a free year of SanDisk’s “Flashback” service. After a year the cost is $4.99 for 128 GB. The price varies depending on the drive capacity. A downloadable program will automatically backup anything place on the drive to the cloud. The idea is you’re safe from drive failures or loss. The online interface is pleasant but basic in features. It does allow for file sharing but appears to not allow multiple files to be chosen. The value of this cloud backup feature is going to depend on your needs and other cloud services you may have. Also included is “Secure Access” a file encrypting program.
Pros: Exceptionally small, USB 3.1, Flashback cloud storage, Secure Access vault.
Con: Average price and speed for USB 3.0 or 3.1, less than rugged plastic build.

Very compact, and it's faster than the 2.0 flash drives. But I don't really like that the end that plugs into the laptop is plastic instead of metal. I'm not sure how durable that will be in the long run. Should have paid more attention to that before ordering. Performs well, though. Package arrived damaged from FedEx, however.

I recently purchased the SanDisk - Ultra Fit 128GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive, and I must say that I am extremely impressed with its performance. This flash drive is incredibly compact, which makes it easy to carry around with me wherever I go. Despite its small size, it has a massive 128GB storage capacity, which is perfect for storing large files such as movies, music, and documents.
The USB 3.1 interface ensures super-fast data transfer speeds, which makes it easy to move large files back and forth between my computer and the flash drive. I particularly like the fact that it has a read speed of up to 130MB/s, which means that I can quickly access the files stored on it without any lag or delay.
Another great feature of this flash drive is that it comes with SanDisk SecureAccess software, which allows me to password-protect my files and keep them secure. This is particularly important for me since I often store sensitive data on my flash drives.
Overall, I would highly recommend the SanDisk - Ultra Fit 128GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive to anyone who is looking for a reliable, high-performance flash drive that is easy to carry around and offers plenty of storage space. It's an excellent product that is well worth the investment!

I highly recommend this USB storage device for it's high speed and ultra compact storage. I was looking for a reliable flash drive that I could run a full Linux distro off of and this drive works perfectly! What I like most about it is how small and compact it is. It's hardly noticeable when it's plugged into my laptop and I don't have to worry about accidently knocking it out of place. It's a very fast drive, as well. I have more than one and it's the only flash drive I will use from now on.

This little drive is awesome! It is so small that I can leave it plugged into my MacBook Air all the time, and the capacity holds my photo library, music library, and then some. The USB 3.1 transfer speed feels almost as fast as the internal solid state drive. The price was beyond right, as well. I previously had an earlier version of this drive (64 GB, USB 3.0) which performed flawlessly, but I had to upgrade to this model for more storage space.

A most excellent drive; very small, very fast, and very reliable.
This is a good form-factor for playing multi-media files via external USB cables attached to a Smart TV, or for external backup while mobile.
These drives are very reliable. I have a number of these.
