Samsung BAR Plus 32GB - 200MB/s USB 3.1 Flash Drive Champagne Silver (MUF-32BE3/AM)

Yeah this was worth it. Good for Mac and PC daily use. It feels tough, has heft to it. Easy to know which side to insert as you dont have to go through the flip issue of insert, oops whoring way. Flip, doesnt go in. Flip again, now it went in. I have my programs here and work between Mac and PC. No issues with it.

Fast read/write speeds, looks sleek, good build quality. Even ran it through a washer/dryer accidentally and it still works.

In typical USB fashion, this drive easily hits 200MB/s, but only in its read speed. Which is to be expected, manufacturers have done this for years. What I didnt enjoy was the fact that the random write appears to be so abysmal, averaging about 20MB/s. If you can manage to write sequentially to the drive youll get better performance but chances are youre using File Explorer in Windows or Finder in Mac, both of which typically dont ever write sequentially. Still, its a fairly priced drive and I cant be upset at that, the $8 I paid is right in line with the speeds I would receive.

I bought two of these both work very well but run exceedingly hot which can be attributed to them higher performance, but I can only assume this will come at the cost of longevity.

The temperature of the pendrive increases when connected and is slightly warm at max. There are no other issues.

solo alcanza uno 20 a 25 mb/s, si buscas una memoria 3.0 de buena velocidad esta no es.

I can transfer from this drive at about 250MB/s but it writes to the drive at about 25MB/s which really cripples the usefulness of this drive for moving large files between computers, especially in the larger capacities. I can only recommend this drive to be used as a live media for Linux installations.

I bought 2 of these at the same time, so they should be identical. This is my review of the other one: Right after I got this, I left it in a jeans pocket when I threw it in the wash. I wash jeans in steaming hot water with a 20 minute soak and then dry on high for at least an hour. Pretty extreme abuse for any electronic item. Found the drive at the bottom of the dryer, so I figured Id put it in my laptop and format it to see if it still worked. I figured formatting it would expose any problems with it. Formatted fine with no drama. I have been using it for a month since then with zero problems!! People are complaining about write speeds. Not a big concern for me since Im just loading photos or Word and Excel files, so I havent even noticed that, BUT, I can guarantee you this drive will take the abuse! Since its much more important to me that files are still on the drive even if I drop it or dunk it or whatever, Im extremely satisfied with it. Its also designed to be much easier to insert and remove than flat drives. Ive always had good luck with Samsungs TVs and appliances, but their phones are junk. I figured Id buy a brand name drive from a company I was familiar with. Obviously, that was a wise decision. Im not prone to hyperbole, nor do I usually take the time to write reviews, but this drive has blown me away. Its definitely the bees knees and I rate this drive a definite BUY.

Perfectly designed for its purpose. Extremely durable and pretty fast. No complaints at all as it does exactly what it advertises. Highly recommend.

The flash drive is OK! Read rate about 300 MB/s as per the packaging ad, but write speed about 40 MB/s (in USB 3.1 Gen 2 port as well). I got both colorful options, black and this silver. The black one is good, but the silver one I believe has too thick layer of coating, so it fits into the USB port soooo tightly. I was afraid the port would break. Then I just used and OTG cable to insert it multiple times. Got better, but I can see the thickness of the coating, it is really too much.
