Tiny USB C Flash Drive?

Hi! I am trying to find the smallest possible USB C Flash drive. I want something tiny, like a dongle that comes with a wireless mouse. I know these exist for USB A, but my laptop only has type C and I don't want an adapter. I want it as small as possible so it can basically just be left plugged in at all times and act like an extra drive. I don't want a bulky thing that might snap off if left in all the time. 

 

Anyone have something like this? I prefer 128 GB or larger, but I guess I'm at the mercy of anything that exists. It does not need any support for USB A, I can use a C to A adapter on my desktop. Bulk there is fine. I need it to be compact on my laptop. Thank you!

Yeah I saw that, unfortunately it's too big for my needs. Would definitely snap off if left in all the time. Thanks though!

Usually the nand chip or whatever is integrated in to the metal usb part it self, so keep in mind it needs to have someplace to stay.

At me or quote me, I want to hear your opinion.

 

Hopefully anything I say is factually correct. Sorry for any mistakes in advanced.

This one's bigger but cheaper https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-Dual-Type-C-SDDDC2-064G-G46/dp/B08DB7LM5G/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=usb%2Bc%2Bflash%2Bdrive&qid=1596064031&sr=8-4&th=1

Thanks! But I'd rather pay more for a smaller one.
