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

Easy to set up. I’ve noticed it might be causing some of my apps to Lag after I downloaded this Samsung Bar plus storage USB. I wonder if anyone had this same problem.

Pros: * Durable metal casing, sealed; should be water-proof * Small footprint * Fast read speed; quick write speed (USB 3.1) * Has hole to put on keyring Cons: * Very slippery surface; it keeps squirting out of my hand * Very tight Socket; youll have to really work to get it in and out of USB ports * No cover; one has to be mindful of debris contaminating the socket. I knocked off a star for the tight socket issue; it has been very frustrating.

Im using a MacBook Pro on OS 10.12 Got the drive for $9 on Amazon. Write speeds when copying large (1GB+) files over is averaging right around 24 MB/s Read Speeds are about 175MB to 180MB/sec Didnt test with small files, but typically those speeds are worse. Given that its only 9 bucks, pretty good performance. Not thrilled with the slow write speeds, since that primary use case. (Store something quickly and go. )

I use this Samsung flash drive to store all my documents and files, and it seems to do a very good job, never had any problems with it. It works very well on my Windows 10 laptop that has USB 3. 0 ports, and it also works very well on my Windows 8. 1 laptop that has USB 2. 0 ports. I like the fact that it is cased in metal, it seems to be very durable and hopefully it will be reliable and last a long time.

Ive been using this regularly and so far its proved reliable. Doesnt get hot. The lack of light indicating data writing throws me off, and I hope for the best each time I back-up, but so far no data loss.

I love this style. I had to purchase this one because the former was run over by my pickup. They are sturdy but not that rugged.

This is my favorite USB stick. The design is cool and modern. It is small and works great.

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.

it did its job and I will be using it for other things to save. I love its heavy and the look/shape of it.

My Samsung BAR Plus 32GB USB 3.1 flash drive provides a Read Speed of up to 200MB/second, and a Write Speed of up to 34MB/second, as many USB 3.1 flash drive manufacturers promise these days. But most USB flash drives fail miserably when one installs, say, a Linux Lite operating system, plugs it into a computer, and tries to run Linux on it. Most USB flash drives, even the USB 3.1 flash drives, and especially the compact ones, overheat, which slows those promised ultra-high read/write speeds to a crawl.. except for the Samsung BAR Plus 32GB USB 3.1 flash drive! The reason why the Samsung BAR Plus 32GB USB 3.1 flash drive runs cooler and faster is that the 1.53 (40mm) long metal case also functions as an efficient heatsink, that becomes warm to the touch when the Linux operating system is busy with videos, games, and such. And theres simply no way around that simple law of physics. I tried a few other brands of smaller, more compact USB 3.1 drives, that I could conveniently and permanently leave in my laptop USB port, but none of them could effectively run Linux. I highly recommend the Samsung BAR Plus USB 3.1 flash drive.
