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

Ive now purchased 5 of these Samsung flash drives, and have never had an issue with them. I have a flash drive input in my car, and Ive had issues with other brands, to where I cant access my music- even though I can see the files- but have never had that issue with these. Ive used them for music. video and for document storage with work ... always works great transferring from Mac to Mac and Mac to PC.

The thumb drive is small and compact. easy to use.

I own a lot of these, havent ever ran into any trouble other than occupationally some of them overheat while doing large rights to them. I dont tend to stress them after I write things to them they tend to just sit around and get read after once in a while, which means read speed is the only thing that really matters to me, and they have pretty good read speed.

Im getting the advertised transfer speeds, and I actually really like that the form is made of metal because it works as a built in heat sink. Feels very smooth and has nice weight to it, my coworkers are jealous and keep referring to it as My Precious. Great drive.

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

Looks good but so small its hard to handle. Also not easy to tell when its in all the way. I wouldnt buy it again.

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.

Im using a MacBook Pro on OS 10.12 Got the drive for $9 on Amazon. Write speeds when copying large (1GB+) files over is averaging right around 24 MB/s Read Speeds are about 175MB to 180MB/sec Didnt test with small files, but typically those speeds are worse. Given that its only 9 bucks, pretty good performance. Not thrilled with the slow write speeds, since that primary use case. (Store something quickly and go. )

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.

Some drives gets really hot when doing large continuous file transfers. This drive metal keeps it warm to the touch when I transfer tons of files to it.
