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

This is a slick (literally and figuratively) little USB stick, thats got some of the faster transfer speeds Ive experienced in a USB 3.0 device. Unfortunately, it loses several stars because its almost impossible to get it into a USB slot on my PC. Or a laptop that I tried. Or an adapter I have for my phone. The dimensions of the case are just a hairs width too big, so its very, very difficult to insert and remove. If I were going to use this daily, this would be cause for an immediate return; instead, I just moved it to backup duty for OS recovery, so hopefully Ill never actually need to use it again. Update: I wound up buying a second one of these in the dark gray color and it does not have the fit issue like the silver one that I originally reviewed.

The drive is not 32 GB. Even when removing the partition table, the physical drive will be 29.88 GB. The USB drive will come pre-formatted in a 32-bit file system for easy (quick) use out of the package, which is convenient. As expected with any storage drive, once formated, a small portion will be used for the file system table (14.97 MB, for example, for fat-32). That is perfectly normal and will vary depending on what partition format you use and how many partitions you create. What is not normal and should not be accepted is the fact that your physical drive is not as advertised. The raw layout of the drive should be 32 GB, and instead, it is 29.88, missing 2.12 GB

I have used a few different capacities in this model flash drive and have yet to have a problem. Theyre faster than others I have used, they work reliably and they are the right size to feel good in the hand so you easily know which way they go and can insert or remove them easily. The little loop hole is great for attaching to a key chain or lanyard so you never lose your drive. These are a bit more pricey than other brands but you get what you pay for, Ive used some no-name ones and they end up breaking too soon or dont have the capacity they claim and are certainly slower than I want. Just get these good ones and youll not regret it.

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

I ordered this Samsung Bar Plus 32 GB drive after watching a YouTube video review stating this flash drive was the best one to buy to use with UNRAID. It was working fine for 7 months until it died on me. Luckily I just ordered a new Samsung Bar Plus 32GB so I had a replacement to get my UNRAID server back up and running. I will update this review depending on how long the new one lasts. I may have to go back to buying Patriot flash drives. I ordered a Patriot Supersonic Rage 2 on March 2, 2016, and its still going strong after 5 years of reading and writing more data than the Samsung Bar Plus ever did.

The usb looks amazing. But it got hot on use, really hot. I dropped it cause in my head I thought I was going to burn myself (not the case). I tested it a few times before deciding to return it. Waited 1 min 30 secs after use for it to cool to normal usb temp (no equipment used). Tested in 30 second intervals via touch. It looked amazing though. Thats what made me contemplate keeping it. It wasnt going to cause damage via burns and once you know it gets hot, the shock value goes away some.

Es una memoria bastante bonita, funciona adecuadamente y con un tamaño bastante optimo para llevarla de un lado a otro.

Ive never had one of these drives fail, and I have a daily carry drive that Ive written over 50tb total that still works as well as the day I bought it. Metal case gives a nice feel and the sloped angle at the back makes it easy to extract, plus a hole to attach to a lanyard or key ring. My only complaint is the finish can get a bit scratched up if you keep it with keys like I do, but doesnt affect anything functional which is all I care about. They arent even that expensive, so why take a risk on cheaper ones?

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.

Shipped fast and packaged well but it didnt need it, these things are indestructible. Made of polished chrome they fit on your keychain and are rugged enough to ride around in your pocket all day, every day. I have two, a 32 Mb and 64 Mb. They claim to be water proof, shock proof, crush proof and whatever else proof and I believe it. Ive been carrying the first one I bought for months and never a problem. Well done Samsung.
