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

I was looking for USB flash drives with decent random 4k read/write speeds. For my intended usage (Linux Live USB with persistence and PortableApps), those criteria are quite important. The

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

I have a bit more time on my hands these days and since there appear to be a lot more fake reviews on Amazon recently I’ve decided to go back and review the items I’ve bought. I will include photos where I can and will only review items I still have or of which I have a strong recollection. I am neither getting paid nor getting anything free or at a discounted price. This flash drive is reliable and I think a good value. I bought a couple and havent had any issues with them when it comes to storage. However plugging it in isnt the easiest and as others have said, transfer speeds are on the slow side. Does the job for the money.

Es muy práctica hasta ahora todo va funcionando excelente compre dos una de 32 gb para mi y otra de 64 gb para mi hijo

Works great. Only Complaint is it’s hard to get a key ring on it and without one you’re sure to loose it because it’s so small. Otherwise, fabulous. Even though it takes some time to get the key ring on it, I would certainly buy it again.

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.

These 32gb usb sticks work fine, and they look futuristic with their slick metal design. Trouble is, they are so slick they are hard to grip and the shiny metal surface is quite slippery. It makes them a little difficult to insert and remove from the usb connector.

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.

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.

Great quality product. Ive only had 1 fail on me over the years but I will most likely lose a flash drive before it fails. The advertised speed is almost always the READ speed, the write speed on these is around 35MB/s. P.S. Dont buy no-name brands promising 256GB for $10, theyre fake.
