[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.

I've been shopping around for new thumb sticks for a few months. All of mine are old, slow, and low capacity. Enter: THIS! First off, let me say that this memory stick is small. However, the build quality is fantastic. The exterior is metal which I wasn't expecting. Secondly, let me say that the speeds are soooooo much faster than the memory stick I've got. It performs 10x (sometimes more) than what I have. The third and final thing that makes me happy about my purchase is the warranty. I can't speak for others but knowing I've got a 5 year warranty completely solidified this deal. I am a very happy customer.

[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.] They say good things come in small packages and when it comes to this Samsung drive they were right. This is such a small but powerful drive and it amazed me. It transfers data at high speeds no matter what you are storing on the drive. Be it music, photos or documents you will be more than happy with the speed of this drive. It can hold thousands of pictures and loads of music. The only thing I wish is that it had a light on it so you can see when it's working but that's a small feature. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a large capacity, fast flash drive.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple years ago and the flexibility of being able to use USB a or USB c makes for the perfect companion when transferring files from my phone to the computer or from my phone to a friend's phone. Nowadays a lot of flagship phones don't have the micro SD card slot and as sad as that may be the ability to still use expandable storage externally makes up for it. From taking photos and videos in the summer and transferring them out of my phone to save space to being able to upload those photos and videos quickly onto my computer this has never let me down. I've even recommended others to get this since it's no regular USB storage device. It's a leap in tech that we didn't know we wanted until it arrived!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is just amazing. If I could buy multiple I would but im short on money so that sucks. I am a photographer and I usually use this USB drive because of the compatability with my computer. The design is small but I can carry it around with me anywhere. Durability isn't even a question with this purchase. Although the resistance of the device is okay, it somehow still meets my standards. And my favorite part is the speed that I can transfer 100 photos and it'll be done in less than 10 minutes. This USB drive is a must for all photographers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well I have had my flash drive for several weeks and have fallen in love with the speed and the ruggedness of this drive. I use it when I am mixing to save my files quickly. I use it when I need to transport large music files fast and this drive is doing a great job with that. I am often very hard on my drives as they go in my backpack or my pocket, on my lanyard or one of the many of situations I put it through. It has done very well with all and any circumstances of use. Anyone looking for a small and very effective flash drive this is a winner.

I was looking for a flash drive compatible with my smart TV so I can pause live antenna TV. The problem is, the TV operates on USB 2.0. This Samsung flash drive is backwards compatible to 2.0, and I was hoping it would do the job. It's a Roku 50" 4K UHD TV, that requires a USB 2.0 16GB 15mbps read/write speed. This flash drive I like, it seems to be good quality, but it's just not quite fast enough on 2.0. It works but the video gets out of sync with the audio. I have to keep switching the TV to another channel and back to get it back in sync.

Absolutely love the flash drives from you! The best of the Absolute best! Quick speedy transfers! Never had any USB drives work as well as this. I'm an active mom of five, I am always using my phone for meetings, work when not in the office, as well as a full time college student. My Problem always has been overloading my phone with documents leaving little to no room for images, thank you for making my life 1000% easier. It is compatible with my Samsung devices And durable for my non stop on the go life!! Keep up the excellent work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] got it when it happened to be on a sale didn't need that much memory but was well worth the money! It's by far the best flash drive I ever had. so fast and works so well with my galaxy. It's small but not to small, that I'll lose it and looks great. Could tell it's a strong build that I don't have to worry about getting damaged. Can hold so may videos and pictures I'm not any were near full capacity! Samsung will forever be my go to for any devices I need and they have, price will never be the factor because the quality is always there!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm just gonna go and say that this thing is quick at transferring any type type of file at any size. Also don't have to worry about it falling of my keychain because the loophole is built in and the body of this usb drive is one solid piece. Only thing is that it seems to get scratched easily, besides that it seems very durable and sleek. It's great for transferring data when I'm away from home and didn't carry anything to transfer data with. Just whip out my keychain and plug in and go. Great product overall.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This flash drive is by far the best compact storage device that I have ever owned. I am used to the cheap plastic feel of other brands but the Samsung Bar Plus is solid and doesnt feel like it will break or fall apart if dropped. I like that it is also waterproof and I found out that it really is after my drink fell over on my pants. It is fast and I actually had to create a USB restore drive and I was expecting that it would take awhile but it was ready to go in under 10 minutes. Great price for what you get.

I purchased the SAMSUNG BAR Plus USB flash drive, and it is easily one of the best drives I’ve owned. The build quality is fantastic—the metal casing feels incredibly durable and premium compared to the cheap plastic ones. It’s compact enough that it doesn’t get in the way when plugged into my laptop, and it has handled daily use and travel without a scratch. The SAMSUNG BAR USB drive delivers exactly what it promises. The read and write speeds are consistently fast, which makes transferring large files or backups very quick. I haven’t experienced any connectivity drops or data corruption since I started using it. My only small note is that it can get a little warm during heavy, sustained transfers, but that’s expected with a metal drive. Overall, a solid, reliable choice. Highly recommend this if you want something that looks great and is built to last.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Samsung BAR Plus 512GB USB Flash Drive in Titanium Gray and I have been very satisfied. It offers reading speeds of up to 400 MB/s, allowing large files to be transferred in seconds. Its metallic design is elegant and extremely resistant, protecting against water, shocks, extreme temperatures, magnetic fields and lightning. In addition, it is compatible with a wide range of devices and has a practical key ring. In short, it is a great option for fast and secure storage.

[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.

I purchased the Samsung 512GB BAR Plus USB 3.2 Flash Drive (Gray), and I couldn't be happier with it. My laptop was running out of storage, and my email was becoming overcrowded with files. This flash drive solved both problems. It has plenty of storage space, transfers files quickly, and is very easy to use. I was able to move a large number of documents, photos, and other files off my laptop, which freed up valuable space and improved its performance. I also no longer have to worry about my email storage filling up. The metal design feels durable and high quality, and its compact size makes it easy to carry with me wherever I go. If you're looking for a reliable, high-capacity flash drive to back up important files or free up space on your computer, I highly recommend the Samsung BAR Plus 512GB USB 3.2 Flash Drive. It's been an excellent investment!

[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.

I purchased over 80 different sets of flash media for testing to determine the best/falsest/most cost effective for use in a very large deployment of new systems. the Samsung Bar Plus line tested the best accross the board. i would recommend that strong consideration be given to the 128Gb version. the increased transfer speeds are well worth the few additional dollars. That being said, the 64Gb drives performed flawlessly and held up for the deployment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This USB easily replaces all of my other ones. From being in IT, i have almost a drawer full of USB's, between cheap ones, and then decent ones. Well now I've cleared it out and only this one sits in there. It is very fast, im hitting about 200-250MB/s constantly. Its very small and does not have a light on it, so it may be easy to lose for some, so just be mindful of that. Other than that, i am entirely happy and love my new USB stick!

I recommend keeping it on a keychain/keyring to keep from accidently losing it. It plugs right into my galaxy device with zero issues. I was able to back up everything on my phone within moments. Then I was able to plug it into my MacBook Pro, and everything I backed up from my phone immediately popped up

The 128gb capacity was adequate for my needs. The design is nice and the metallic shell makes it feel durable. The eyelet for a key chain is nice. The read and write speeds are fine, but not great. The drive can also get hot to the touch under some prolonged use. I've had my drive for 2 years and it is still working for my use.

[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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] And it is wonderful. This is well worth the price! It transfers files so fast... no waiting for it to transfer files over. The transfer speeds are listed as 300MB/s, but I suspect it was actually much faster. I did try transferring some files and I blinked and it was done! I wish everything transferred as fast. The casing is lovely and has a hefty, solid feel to it. The casing has a hole on the opposite end from the USB which would work not only as a key ring, as the specs say but may be stuck on a ball chain as a necklace. I like that it is waterproof and temperature proof, no more worries if you accidentally leave it in the car. Shockproof is also another nice feature, no worries about it breaking when it slips out of your hands. And 128 gigabytes of space is lots of room for videos, photos, files or programs. I would definitely recommend this flash drive.

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.] I bought this a few years ago as a USB 3.1 flash drive. It is top notch! I store a variety of documents, photos, and videos on it and it’s speedy enough to get it done quickly. In addition, for anyone accidentally/intentionally deleting files but would like to recover them… the additional speed benefit is helpful when using Recuva. It’s also quite a tough material so don’t worry about shoving it in your pocket.

I've had a 32gb flash drive that I've been carrying on my belt for the last 6-7 years and this thing has survived just about everything. welding shops and grinding metal, carpentry shops and sawdust, just getting slammed around as I bump into everything and this flash drive has only now stopped working. I never expected it to last as long as it did and now have a 128gb to replace it and go another 6-7 years.

Not only does it look sleek and premium with its solid metal design, but it also feels sturdy enough to last a lifetime. The read/write speeds are blazing fast — transferring large files, movies, or entire work folders takes only seconds. What really sets this apart is the combination of performance and durability. It’s waterproof, shockproof, temperature-proof, and even X-ray-proof, which gives me complete peace of mind when carrying important files. The compact size makes it easy to keep on my keychain without worrying about it breaking or getting lost. If you’re looking for a reliable, stylish, and ultra-fast flash drive, the BAR Plus is an absolute winner. Worth every penny, and in my opinion, it’s the #1 USB drive you can buy right now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased a USB 3.1 flash drive from Samsung. The first thing I noticed when looking at the package was, wow this is tiny. The Flash drive is one of the smallest drives I've seen that contains 128GB. Just think about 128GB of data that can fit almost everywhere and able to access that data at just about SSD speeds. You can technically use this drive as a computer hard drive and boot from it, even install an operating system. The second thing I noticed when I received the package is the styling. It looks very premium, modern and solid. When transferring a large data file I noticed it copied over like this was an internal hard drive. Not all computers have USB 3.1 but it will work with 3.0 and 2.0 drives as well just not as fast. Overall I hope these flash drives get smaller, faster, larger, cheaper eventually you will be able to back up your entire existence into your pocket.

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.

It includes an integrated keyring hole shaped into the body, making it hard to lose and very easy to clip onto a backpack. ​Durability: The solid aluminum construction lacks cap mechanisms or sliding parts that could easily snap or break over time. ​Resistance: Employs Samsung's signature "5-Proof Protection," rendering it waterproof, shock-proof, magnet-proof, temperature-proof, and X-ray-proof. ​Speed: Delivers quick read speeds of up to 400 MB/s over a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, allowing a 3GB 4K video file to transfer in roughly 10 seconds. Write speeds are notably slower than the read speed but remain efficient for daily files.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is fast never had any data or compatibility issues. Use this as a second drive on a Chromebook Plus Gaming deck from Lenovo and it is a great addition. Small size looks more like a USB dongle than a 512 GB functional drive. It's a thumb drive that does what a thumb drive should and it's price is fair especially for the storage and form factor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really came in handy when I needed to trasfer a few THOUSAND pictures. It was a little slowee than I anticipated? But I chock this up to the no DRAM and the fact there was just so many pictures. This doesn't happen with NVME but it is not really fair to compare those protocols. I reallyyyy wanna upgrade to a few 990 nvme drives in my pc though 😂

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When you look at it, it may seem like you average USB stick but when you pick it up, you realize its the real deal. Its what my roommate would say, "Hefty" like its heavily good. Yes its got some weight to it but it should since its made of metal. It lets you know that it can handle hard drops hence the shockproof. Its also a plus knowing that it is waterproof although i don't recommend it but I have my days where i accidentally put it through the washer. As a wanna be IT guru I recommend this flash drive. With speeds up to 200mb meaning it transfers and reads files really fast. How fast? 3GB 4K UHD video file from your Bar Plus to your PC in just 10 seconds, that fast. What i also like about this flash drive is it's simple, sleek design. It feels and looks luxury but you pay a reasonable price for its functionality and everything else is a huge bonus. Honestly, why you still reading this buy this flash drive and you want regret in getting it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Of all my other flash drive (non-Samsung) it's by far the quickest to load whatever % full. I know as I set-up my own home-thumbdrive(usb)speed test against 2 (other) well known media makers and I did so downloading a test-set # of files from my desktop (Windows 11) and then uploading the same test-set # of files back to windows file exployer. Using my recently received New Galaxy S25 Ultra 512Gb Unlocked from Samsung.com greatest online trade-in offer ever, using the stopwatch function from the Clock app my Samsung 128-Gb Flash or Thumb Drive.purchased online recently won out significantly in the download and upload tests against it's 2 toughest competitors. I couldn't have made a better purchase--apples to apples it was sale-priced and beat the same 2 competitors in the price tag test I performed in the store! Incidentally, I didn't cover this earlier but the other 2 competitors flash drives are also 128Gb in capacity and less than a month old--gifts from colleagues at my official retirement party at Atlas.

I’ve been using the Samsung BAR Plus (512GB) for a while now, and I couldn't be happier with it. As someone who is constantly moving files around for my work, I needed something that wasn't just fast, but actually tough enough to keep up with me. ​The first thing you notice is the build quality. It’s all-metal, feels really solid in your hand, and doesn't feel like it’s going to break if it gets tossed in a bag or dropped on the job site. The performance is just as solid—transfer speeds are impressively fast, which saves me a ton of time when I'm dealing with large batches of photos or project files. ​It’s small enough that it doesn’t get in the way, and the built-in keyring loop is a huge plus because I don’t have to worry about losing it. It does get a little warm during heavy transfers, but that’s expected with a metal drive that actually works this hard. ​If you want a flash drive that looks sharp and is built to last, this is definitely the one. It’s been rock-solid for me, and I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this last week as a gift and this a to die for product. I love the elegant design. The performance is great. It is easily detected by the PC when plugged in. This makes my life so much easier. It's worth the money.
