The TransMemory U364 USB 3.0 combines big capacities in the smallest of all Toshiba USB Flash drives and comes with a tiny form factor and minimal weight of just 3 grams.

Notes:

[1] Among all Toshiba branded USB Flash Drives as of May 2017.
[2] The term USB 3.0 Super Speed used herein is the name of a specification upon which this product is based, it does not guarantee the speed of its operation.
[3] One Gigabyte (1GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB= 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system and other factors.
[4] Read and write speeds may vary depending on reading/writing device and the file types and sizes being read and/or written.
