Review: Fast USB Drives - 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!
Review: Highly recommended USB drive for fast transfers and reliability - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: whats the write speed?**
A: I'm getting the same as everyone else. 25MB/s write speed and 150MB/s read.

**Q: Can I encrypt this drive?**
A: I used Linux and used LUKS(Linux Unified Key Setup) and yes the drive encrypted. I use is for a Persistence Live File System. MX Linux runs perfect on it.

**Q: The hole on the end looks very small. How well do these flash drives fit on your keys?**
A: I agree with the first responder who said that the width of the thing on the end is an issue.  It causes the drive to not want to move freely on my keychain, which causes it to occasionally poke my leg while in my pocket, or just feel a bit awkward.  I never experienced this with my Kingston drive, which has a wide hole that is flat and symmetrical, allowing it to move freely and sit flat against my leg while in my pocket.  I also had a hard time getting my key loop through the hole.  My keychain is one of those that has a small steel wire loop with a locking mechanism.  The end of the wire has a small grommet which was just a bit too large to fit through the hole of this Samsung drive.  I had to drill it out a little bigger, which was very difficult to do, and scratched it up a bit.  Now that it's one the key ring, it digs into my leg a bit, as I mentioned.  Overall I am displeased enough with the design that I'm here looking for something else.  I would have stuck with Kingston but it was so SLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW.

**Q: Has anyone had to Warrenty**
A: I have several of these drives for quite a while and have not had a problem.   This is consistent with my prior experience with Samsung products (i.e., they tend to be quite reliable).  However, in the past I had to deal with Samsung service for warranty issues on another product.  Their warranty service was terrible.  They ignored my claim for months. Every time I contacted them they said they would get back to me shortly.  They never got back to me.  It took many months to get service from them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small, durable, dependable and blazing fast.
*by J***. on September 26, 2025*

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!
