Great features
on December 11, 2018
Posted by: mazoa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm using this product for my music and video library. High read/write speed allows me to watch video without any delays or distortions. Small size is very convenient to have it on my key chain so it is always with me. Reliable and neat. This is the best Flash Drive I've been using so far.

Pretty nifty little guy!
on December 11, 2018

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] By far one of the best flash drives I've used! After receiving this little guy in the mail to now I've used this to transfer files back and forth from my Note8 and s9 and I have to say this guy is fast! I've had not one issue with transfer speeds even using otg from my phones to move all of those large HD pictures and HD videos to make space on them; unlike others that I've used that have taken awhile to transfer. Great compact design for 128gb making it very pocket and keychain friendly for me who's always on the go, that of which means no more snapping them as well!

I have bought this just to store my photos but now I am using this as a dual boot USB drive on my mac with windows running on it. It functions for me just like an SSD drive with no heat issues as long as I am using my windows on drive as a moderate use. Love it, its small, elegant and can be hidden in small spaces(hahaha).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice sleek design, but no protection if it is ever lost. DO NOT STORE ANYTHING SENSITIVE ON THIS DRIVE.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fits too tight, hard to remove, and too bulky
on November 5, 2021
Posted by: Samuel
this drive fits way to tight, requiring me to brace my laptop while inserting and removing it. it almost feels as if it's expanding the usb port from all the pressure the drive exerts on it, something that doesn't at all settle well with me when using on expensive laptops. it'd be a real shame to have a port fail because of the bulkiness of this drive.
i have a couple older verbatim drives that are ever so slightly tight while inserting, and then click into place just right. they also have a minimal housing enclosure which can make them a bit tricky to get out. however, the housing has beveled grooves that run around the outer edge that can be easily gripped with a fingernail. also, their low profile allows a laptop to be stored into a sleeve without removal.
thank you and good day.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Only tests out at 200GB, not the 244 avail.
on December 10, 2018
Posted by: yarnprof
from Poulsbo, WA
Expertise:Intermediate
I bought this and ran it through a test to see what would fit, to see if I was getting the 256G advertised. The drive reports 244G available (so already no, but I expected that drop) but will only fit 200G of actual files. Disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for purchasing the Samsung FIT Plus 3.1 USB flash drive.
Samsung drives adhere to the IDEMA standard of advanced formatting, which will result in the drive/card appearing as less than the listed size. This is a common industry-wide standard.
The amount of space that appears to be "missing" is in fact used by the drive/card for storing firmware, metadata and spare blocks. Your operating system (Windows, Linux, etc.) will also affect the usable space -- different operating systems will use different amounts of space to store their metadata. Consequently, formatted space will always be less than unformatted space.
You can look IDEMA up online for more technical details about this standard, which is established by The International Disk Drive Equipment and Materials Association.
For additional questions or concerns, please contact Samsung Customer Support.

Does Everything but Play On a 2018 Honda Accord
on October 19, 2018
Posted by: MadHappy SAM
from Clarksville, TN
Just purchased this specifically for my new car in hopes to have a large audio library without using my phone for music storage. Just found out I cannot put a thumb drive in the ports that aren't FAT32 which is used no larger than 32gb drives. I demand to use more, but how can I make Windows allow me to use FAT32 instead of exFAT or NTSF?
I would recommend this to a friend!
