SAMSUNG BAR Plus 3 1 USB Flash Drive 128GB 400MB s Rugged Metal Casing Storage Expansion for Photos

This is a great choice for a speedy USB drive, looks slick and reliable. I’ve bought a silver 64GB back in 2019, still works great. Recently bought a Gray 256GB variant, I use it for easy video transfers between devices, and also project files. The Speeds during benchmarking are as expected, ~400MB/s Read speeds and ~100MB/s write speeds, real world performance will vary but performance is high nonetheless. High-value USB drives! Read more

Super fast and small. I am super happy with these drives. I purchased two 256gbs drives, and they are both exemplary. These work with Mac, Linux, and PC. They are easily and quickly read by these three different operating systems. I highly recommend these at this price point. Read more

I've purchased the Samsung Bar Plus 3.1 USB Flash Drive 13 times between October 2018 and October 2024, including various capacities such as 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. The quality, reliability, and blazing fast performance of these flash drives have been consistently impressive. After four years of heavy use in countless machines, one of the 256GB flash drives stopped working on September 25, 2025. Fortunately, I had just made a backup copy, so I wasn't too worried. Samsung Support was amazing to work with; the representative provided a link to complete the RMA form and assured me that a UPS return label would arrive by email within 48 hours. I highly recommend these flash drives for their quality, durability, outstanding performance and excellent customer service. The attached screenshots from CrystalDiskMark 9.01 are test results of Default, Peak Performance, Real World Performance and Demo test profiles. I’ve also attached a picture of the Samsung flash drive along with the UGREEN USB to USB C Adapter and JSAUX USB C to USB Adapter. Both of these adapters are great! Read more

Samsung makes quality hardware and they got this design right. It is simple and sleek which not only looks classy but ensures it fits into any USB port without crowding out other USB devices next to it. Since they make everything from the flash memory inside to the outer shell Samsung has total control over quality. Reliability is the main reason to buy this drive. The flash memory will last for many write cycles and the drive itself is built to take abuse. I gave this to a family member who accidentally put it through their washing machine and dryer but because Samsung wisely made it a sealed unit the drive survived. We did a full reformat to check every cell and there wasn't a single error. The drive came out of an extended wash and dry cycle fully operational. This is the USB drive to get. Read more

Reliable, physical capacity matches stated in specs. CONS: not as fast (stated 400mbs, benched at 200) write speed (reported 128mbs, benched about 60mbs) Overall good drive and good deal at $20. I've had all kinds/brands of drives over the years .. Sammy drives and cards have never failed .. not one. All other brands have. Read more

You can actually boot an OS such as Linux very well with this USB drive. In my opinion these are great value for the money. I have a few of these and not a single issue, compatible with MS and Linux, no problem. Being versatile with such a large capacity is ideal for most people. If used continuously with extreme loads they will get a little warm, but I had no problem with overheating. Read more

Works as it should and was great bang for the buck. Interesting shape and decent size. Seems to write plenty quick enough; and I've never noticed any heat, though I don't overly tax it. A good basic backup device. Read more

Solid quality and a tight fit. I had no problems transferring files from my PC to my MacBook. It was quicker than I expected. I didn't measure parameters with any analysis programs, however. Read more
