[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This usb flash drive gets the job done. The best feature is its matte exterior finish and its rugged durability. It can withstand all my every day hazards that can be thrown its way. This includes everything from the dust and lint from my pocket to an unexpected water event such as rain. The exterior paint finish can even resist the scratches from being on my key ring. The storage space and transfer performance are everything you can expect from a 3.0 usb flash drive. It gives people like a piece of mind not to have to transfer every file through a cloud service. This is a great product that I hope Samsung continues to develop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how this product has so much memory space available. I can use it for so many different things like saving my work files, to personal pictures and videos. I always have it on the go for everything I need since I'm always doing new projects and work. I can keep everything organized and easily transfer files from one computer to another. I used to buy 6GB flash drives and I'd always get so frustrated because they never lasted long or I constantly had to override them and save files elsewhere. It was annoying trying to figure out what other 6GB flash drive had the files I needed. This flashdrive is a lifesaver.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung BAR Plus 256GB USB 3.1 (Titan Grey) for a few weeks now, and honestly, I’m really impressed. First off, the design is beautiful — that sleek metal finish feels premium and durable. It’s compact enough to keep on my keychain without worrying about it snapping or breaking. Performance-wise, it’s been rock solid. I regularly transfer large video files, and the read speeds are blazing fast. Files open quickly, and playback is smooth — no lag. Write speeds aren’t lightning-fast, but they’re more than decent for my needs, and I haven’t experienced any freezing or corruption.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] im so happy with this product i've been thoroughly impressed with my Samsung, which has become an indispensable part of my daily routine. The range of features it offers has significantly improved my productivity, entertainment, and gaming experiences. The ultrawide screen and seamless connectivity options make multitasking a breeze, while the eye care technology ensures I can work for hours without straining my eyes. The smart features and high-quality display also provide an immersive entertainment experience, and the gaming features take my gaming sessions to the next level. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my Samsung monitor and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their screen experience.

I was given a 128GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive BAR Plus (Black) as a gift recently. A colleague of mine borrowed it to do some file transfers. The files copied OK but when he plugged it in to the other computer it was not recognised. It does not work on any of my five computers. Very disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second sticks of this product. I purchased one for my work, the other for my wife. I am an engineer working on civil engineering and it requires reliable data device which should be sturdy and compatible for various situations like extreme weather conditions, multiple OS ,and differences types of devices. And the product fits well for the purposes. That’s why I have two items. That’s not super fancy device like a SSD but it’s more practical and provides with affordable price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been purchasing Samsung storage devices for a long time now, I have never come across one yet that has disappointed me, leaving any type of negative image for the manufacturer. This Drive in particular is solid in its weight, which is totally fine to me, cause at least I know it is made well and can take a beating. I have personally dropped my drive in water, and put it through the ringer multiple times, and it still has yet to fail me. I am tech-savvy, so I know that the advertised speeds will only run in the best scenarios with compatible devices or hardware. If you want a trustworthy drive, look no further. I use this for school and have another one I use to load operating systems on computers that are in constant use. All I can say is, in my experience, Samsung storage devices have yet to fail me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 256 GB fl flash drive does what it's suppose to . If it's putting putting picture on it. Orr simply loading music or just transferring one of th e the this flash drive will get it done. And with a quickness I must t say. I can always count on their products to do the job and get it done.at 256 GB there is plenty of r oom for those Ole memories and new data. Music or pictures .I love their products and can count on their performance to do well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave out 4 of them for Christmas presents to my son wife and mothern-IN-law. They couldn't believe I spent money on them and the look of disappointment on their faces,well I thought maybe I had missed my usual high mark with stocking stuffer tech gift. Now it April and I have received nothing but praise over my choice in Samsung gifts. Wow dad I've got my college spring semesters notes and homework all on here can you buy me a couple more . Wife gee honey I could use a nother one for my craftsman one for recipes. Mothe in law, I have eliminated all of those boxes of tax returns sence chad( father in law sence passed) on it and now I can start on the ones I have left from there to my college jobs. So thank you for making such a great product.but that 100 .00 would help with the 4 more they ordered an one for my self if I have enough money

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this flash stick in April of 2023. I have used it very hard over the years; with hundreds, if not thousands of read/write cycles. A bunch of thermal extremes too. I'm so very impressed by this little drive. I had a SanDisk before this, and it was fine enough, but at some point after a year and a half (right after the warranty went out) it began intermittently working. So I got the Samsung, and haven't looked back. 10/10

I just bought this drive since the price/gb was quite attractive. Upon receipt, I transferred about 140 gb of data from my Lenovo L380 SSD to the new flash drive. Oh, boy, the write speeds are so inconsistent - started at 50-60 MB/sec and dropped down to 1MB/sec, after about an hour and half and the drive was getting hot. I think read/write speed slows down significantly when the drive gets hot. I am not happy.....

The metal body is sleek and seems well built. The form looks great and doesn't get in the way of other drives. One issue is the write and read speeds are very slow. I've run many tests and I'm getting 25 mbs. The same as my USB 2 devices. It's a good price for a large amount of memory. Just don't trust their reported speeds. "Up to 300MB/s Data Transfer Speed" doesn't mean anything about normal write speeds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Didn't realize it when I first purchased this drive that it was the 256GB. But MAN AM I GLAD. All my music files transferred in less than 10 minutes with only a few not making the cut. (Those that didn't transferred were files I was being lazy to delete on my previous drive.) It works with all club standard equipment and is just pure efficiency!!!! Definitely recommended for anyone in the DJ scene!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a "serious" and well-designed flash drive. It's metal, so it feels indestructible. It's small, only about 1.5"/4.0cm long. It's got a hole for a keyring, so it's easy to carry around and harder to lose. The ingenious curved design makes it comfortable to hold and manipulate with three fingers. This is so much better than the plastic junk drives I've carried before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The flash drive does exactly what it is supposed to do at the speed that is expected. I have always been impressed with Samsung's SSD drives, never once having an issue, and I suspect I will enjoy the same reliability from this flash drive for years to come. The aluminium housing and unique design, make it durable and perfectly suited for carrying on a key chain or lanyard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually have 2 of these and one of the smaller (Fit?) drives, and I have somehow sent all 3 through a wash and dry cycle while doing laundry. THEY ALL SURVIVED! Along with being incredibly durable, file transfers nice and speedy. I do a lot of old-school file sharing for my job and these have not let me down once.

Have owned this for 2 months now and have had no issues. Read/write speeds are great and device is capable of its advertised speeds from what I have experienced when transferring large files. Have used the drive to move file sizes between a few KB to few GB and also used for boot drive on Win10.

Died after 30-40 mins first use. I put about 80gb of files on the drive then it disconnected. I tried other ports and the TV. Nothing.it makes the connection noise but no drive shows up. If you leave it in, every few minutes it will connect and disconnect, but the drive still does not show up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do a lot of photography on my. S twenty four, ultra and on my Camera Rig Case I have attached my 256gb Memory card. So any of my photos don't have to take up space on my phone itself? It is a fantastic way too. Quick. And easily. Get photos directly from my phone to my computer for editing

Bout a month old and half filled, now get: Volume Bitmap is incorrect , on multiple win10 boxes after about 10/15 minutes of use. This must be a dud or fake. I have a 128 3.0 that's been everywhere w/o problems. Are we having problems with the larger capacity? Trust is waning...
