[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.] 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.

Love my new Flash drive

[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 would recommend this to a friend!

Bout a month old and half filled, now get: Volume Bitmap is incorrect , on multiple win10 boxes after about 10/15 minutes of use. This must be a dud or fake. I have a 128 3.0 that's been everywhere w/o problems. Are we having problems with the larger capacity? Trust is waning...
