USB flash drive as primary
on February 12, 2025
Posted by: ThinkPad X1 user
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fast access. A few months ago, my laptop SSD died, unlucky, I can switch to my 512 USB flash drive as my primary.

It just works.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a few months ago to make backups of my digital art. Transfer speeds are more than satisfactory. If you're wanting low-profile USB-A storage, you can't really go wrong with this.

Please can we get a USB C option?

Great drive, but I would love for Samsung to make a USB-C version so I can use it to watch my library of 3d films on my GearVR headset (via the USB-C port on the bottom). Please, please, please Samsung make a USB-C version of this. It would also be a great low profile storage option for Macbook users...
I would recommend this to a friend!

Write Speed Bottleneck

from Denver,Co
Expertise:Expert
I just purchase this drive.
First I did is to check data transfer speeds .
Write speed is 80 MB/s
Read speed is 290 MB/s
So 300 MB/s is actual read speed.

Went Quietly Into The Night
on December 1, 2021
Posted by: PJPete
from Santa Rosa, CA
i kept this drive in the usb port of my computer for about two months. the drive was left in the usb port as suggested in the boilerplate. media was bitlocker encrypted. after tow months of occasional use (maybe once a week), the drive reports "no media". all attempts to access the drive have failed - on several different pc's. it looks like the controller chip cannot talk to the nand memory chip. as a result, i have a working usb flash drive with no storage memory. for all of this drives supposed physical durability, it sure failed quickly and quietly. waterproof? x-ray proof? how about able to withstand normal use. good thing it's waterproof, because it's going in the toilet! do not trust your data to this device!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
