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

Just like any other stick gald to have one in handy

This thing gets very hot within a couple minutes of being plugged in. I cant say how this will effect long term performance since Ive only had it a few days, but I do find it concerning.

Let me say that this has an amazing design. it is not clunky and gives a nice feel. this was pretty cheap (32g) and let myself transfer over 1k photos to the device. Sadly it dropped heavily and inconsistent for the next half of the transfer time . If you want top speed, look somewhere else. If you want a device that looks/feels great with mediocre speeds , go for this.

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.

There are a lot of variables that affect the read/write speed of this flash drive in any particular PC. Drivers, internal USB firmware, etc., etc. Nevertheless, after several months, Ive found that the drive is consistently much faster than any 2.0 flash drive and, in the latest model PC/laptops with SSD drives, the transfer speed can be very impressive. According to the file transfer utilities, I consistently see read speeds of 200MB/s and, depending on file size, write speeds up to 30MB/s. However, we are becoming spoiled with high speed networks and SSDs in our systems so, even with its faster speed, you might not think the performance is all that impressive. Just keep in mind that, for the money, youre not going to find a drive that is larger, faster, tougher or better designed for plugging and unplugging.

Everything is great but when inserting in seems like its a little tight

The other reviews reporting fast reads but very very slow write speeds are accurate. and its very slick and weirdly shaped making it difficult to insert into a new and stiff usb port. I have dropped it or nearly dropped it many many times. never had problems like that before... how did they make as slick as a bar of soap in the shower?

Im very pleased with this purchase. I bought it to give a client 20 GB worth of pics and video from their wedding. Not only did this hold everything, but its super fast and and looks really nice. I highly recommend and will probably be buying more in the future.

Runs hotter than any other storage device Id ever seen. Not natural, however its a 3.1 if that means anything. Just a warning to all of you who may care about such a thing.

Exactly what I needed.
