Yeah this was worth it. Good for Mac and PC daily use. It feels tough, has heft to it. Easy to know which side to insert as you dont have to go through the flip issue of insert, oops whoring way. Flip, doesnt go in. Flip again, now it went in. I have my programs here and work between Mac and PC. No issues with it.

I bought this usb drive (32 gb version) because I need one on my keyring in case if I dont have my external hard drive or laptop with me. And probably its a best flash drive for this purpose. It looks durable - just one solid piece of metal. Water, shock, magnet, temperature and x-ray proof with 5 years of warranty. I dont have usb 3.1 yet - but I tested it with 2.0 and 3.0 - see attached pictures. Im sure writing speed with 3.1 will be much faster.

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 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.

I backup often and this is probably twice as fast as my older flash drives. Instead of deleting the data I want to overwrite, I format the flash drive each time, then copy, this method is much better than deleing whats on the drive than copying the data.

the price is good, but i never had it clock at 200/mb write speed. my desktop has 3.0 it never clocked over 30mb write speed for me.

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.

I bought one 64GB and two 32GB Samsung BAR Plus USB drives. The 64GB stick came pre-formatted with exFat. The 32GB sticks came pre-formatted with Fat32. So they are ready to use immediately. Im pretty sure that if you wanted a different format (like NTSF) you could re-format them with whatever format you want (with your computer) although I havent done that. I do think they fit awfully tight into any USB 3 port I have used them in. Snug is good but I think this is overkill and it might even damage something in some cases. Thats the only complaint I have about them. On the Easy to use rating I only gave 3 stars because of this. Otherwise they seem really good. I like them overall.

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.
