Samsung BAR Plus 64 GB Type-A 200 MB/s USB 3.1 Flash Drive Titan Grey (MUF-64BE4)

I was not expecting this device to be so small but it doesn't bother me. But do make sure you attach this to a key chain or the like because this device will definitely be prone to being lost or misplaced. I'm not one to gripe about speeds. These days you hardly ever find a drive that has the speed that the item depicts so why bother complaining about it? Besides it all depends on the quality of your particular drive, the device onto which you're transferring data, the USB port, etc. And this drive seems to do just fine. Do I wish it was faster? Sure. Do I wish all drives were faster? Of course. As long as the drive isn't slower than molasses in winter, I couldn't care less. Anyway, for the most part, USB drives have decent enough speeds and 99% of the time you get what you pay for (in a good way). I see complaints about the USB being scratched when entering and exiting the USB ports. USBs and USB ports have been around for 15 years, so this should be common sense by now. I don't understand how everyone isn't aware that when you're plugging and unplugging a USB in and out of a port, you're scraping metal against metal. What do you expect? Literally, all of my USB flash drives and USB charging cables have those specific line scratches. Even if a particular port is loose, scratches are inevitable because people plug their USBs into other ports and some ports or USBs will have a tighter fit. Unless you're a USB flash drive collector, oddly, don't worry about the aesthetics of the drive. Plus, you can always get the white version if it bugs you as white hides scratches easier. Overall, superb drive and no complaints. Worth the money.

Perfect. 👌 Used in my tv to record stuff. Formatted on tv. Works a treat. Feels quality too. Quite weighty.

I needed a solid state drive to record multitrack audio channels from a QSC Touchmix 16 digital mixing desk. QSC recommend a number of SSD drives and also a similar Samsung USB flash drive. I bought this model for its speed (USB 3.0 / 300mbps) and it’s generous capacity (128GB) as well as it’s lower cost compared to more expensive SSD drives! I have now tried it and can confirm that it does indeed work wth the QSC Touchmix Mixing desk and has successfully recorded multitrack audio files! I can’t confirm the exact read/write speeds of the device but it’s obviously quite fast to be able to record around 16 channels of audio direct to the stick. It is nowhere near as fast as an SSD drive (as expected) but fulfilled its purpose successfully! It will only deliver the higher speeds when used with a USB 3.0 compatibile device but is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 also. This device is decent value for money as it offers around 128GB of (fairly fast) storage space for a competitive price! It is also quite robust having a metal construction and is also small in size and weight! In addition it has a handy keyring loop to avoid loss and keep it safe during transportation. Recommended!

I carry my USB key on my keyring in my pocket all the time, so the plastic ones usually break around the loop, but this one is metal and tough as nails. A little of the anodising has worn away on the edges, but this doesn't look bad and if you're a regular carrier it's to be expected. The speed is excellent and well in excess of the previous USB3 drive that it replaced. Of course you have to be using it with a machine that's capable of keeping up, and DON'T try to use it with Windows XP, as it doesn't work with it (as a friend found out). When you do use it with a modern machine it is a real speed machine. I did test it when I first got it, as previous 128gb flash drives have been slow in my experience, but I'm pretty sure it was somewhere around 300mb/s. On a less capable machine with early editions of USB3 or ye olde USB2 you won't get quite that sort of speed, but you can rest assured that you're getting the most out of your machine, and when you do trade up your Samsung Bar will be able to keep up. I'd buy this again in an heartbeat.

Ok, so this is a reveiw for the 128gb and I'm commenting on sequential speeds only: I am getting write speeds around 45-50mbps, which is not too impressive, my ancient, ice-age HDDs do 60-65mbps, hence why it looses one star. HOWEVER, the read speeds are very impressive. At 300mbps I can't complain at all! And since I'm primariy gonna be using it to read stuff off of it rather than write stuff to it, I'm keeping it. 5 years warranty from Samsung is also good to know. Oh, and it looks very good too - although I couldn't care less about it, I know some people do, and it makes it a good little present to a friend/colleague. Boom.

I have used Transcend flash drives for many years. I like small metal flash drives that I can keep in my pocket. This Samsung item is excellent so far and I am very pleased with it. It is tiny and looks to be strong and reliable. Two comments really, - I once left one of my Transcend flash drives in my jeans and it went through a 90 degree wash cycle! After drying, it was as good as new and had lost non of the information stored on it. That was years ago! The other comment is that the Transcend models come with a connection ring and a silver chain lanyard. Very useful and I have fitted one to the Samsung, although it was not supplied with the flash drive.

This thing is made of solid metal. Very sleek, sturdy, surprisingly small, and people always ask the name of it when I'm using it in public. The device warms up slightly when in use for a short time, but unlike every other flash drive I own, this one cools down almost instantly due to the solid metal construction. You are going to notice scratches on the section where it goes inside the USB port, but these are unavoidable on all USB drives. It compliments any other Samsung tech you may have such as your phone very well. I will definitely buy more when needed. (see image for size comparison)

Very very good bravo

Mooie metalen stick die razendsnel werkt. Is wat duur in de aanschaf maar wel zijn geld waard.

Çok beğendim. Kargosu beklediğimden hızlı geldi. Çok kullanışlı, dayanıklı ve güzell

It is useful in my office, small and flexible.

I've used the Samsung products is the past and found them to be excellent quality and ... neat looking. I use this as a multi-boot USB device, with a System Rescue partition and a Windows installation partition; as well as a large storage partition.
