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

So Ive had a metal kingston 16gb for a while. It was 2.0 and I realized now that all my usb ports are 3.1 I should upgrade not only the size but speed. While I might not be achieving 200mb/sec like it claims, I did see about 170mb/sec which is screaming fast compared to what Im used to. I do like that the keyring area is a bit thicker and feels beefy.

Just like any other stick gald to have one in handy

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?

I use this in an over the air tv recorder. The drive I was using would drop the signal now and then. This drive does not and works great!

several failed in less than a year. left me stranded.

USB flash drives 3.0 or 3.1 are night and day compared to the original USB or USB 2.0 drives. I recently transferred nearly 200 gigs of data, files, movies, music, and pics from an old computer to a new one. It was effortless with this new USB 3.1 and took a relative few minutes compared to the hours the original USB drives would have taken. Ive ordered three more.

Great little flash drive. My only problem and it isnt really a problem is; its hard to hold. Its very small and slippery so putting it into a usb port at any angle is just frustrating. But other than that its a great little drive.

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.

I received this drive less than 1 hour after ordering it. The drive was smaller than I had expected. I like the distinctive look to distinguish it from my other flash drives of less capacity. I used it to copy many of the files and photos (26.4 GB) from my old computer, and will transfer some of the files to my new computer, or to OneDrive. I was pleased by how quickly the information copied to the flash drive.

The drive seems to be well made. It is much faster than many I have tried, but does not approach the Rated Speeds. Still, all in all a good product.
