Only lasted 7 months !
on September 8, 2021
Posted by: ABBE
it stopped workiing after 7 months. had slow writing speeds of less than 40 mb/s in a windows laptop where its reading speeds only reached a max of about 200 mb/s. heated up by 10°c of room temperature within the first 15-20 minutes of being plugged in to a usb 3.0 port. what a waste of money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Slow slow slow

Expertise:Expert
Big disappointment.
The read speed is OK, but the write speed is unbelievably poor.
I get 260 MB/sec read speed.
Writing is less than 60 MB/sec. Snoooooooooooze.
Don't buy this product. The advertising "Up to 300MB/s Data Transfer Speed" is grossly misleading.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fast, Reliable, Small, Lifgt

This is a great flash drive. The design allows for pocket carry. The transfer speeds are extremely fast. I purchased 20 total of these drives for restoring baseline images via acronis. The 3.1 speeds are drastically greater than the 3.0. Also, if considering purchasing the 648Gb, the speeds between the two are drastically in favor of the 128Gb version. Invest the few extra dollars in the 128Gb version for the significantly upgraded transfer speeds.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

The writing speed from a PC to the device is from 40mb to 45 mb. My Sandisk Extreme kills this thing.

I am an I.T. professional and use flash drives every day. This is my new favorite!
Rugged, reliable, and fast. I will be purchasing more of these soon. I have told many people about this drive and the fact that Samsung provides free shipping is a big plus.
Buy one, you will not be disappointed.

Nice Metal flash drive
on April 25, 2022
Posted by: Damons flash
from Washington, DC
Expertise:Expert
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered the flash drive straight from Samsung. Received the flash drive and have to say I like the feel nice and sturdy cool looking and feels real sturdy. I'm going to replace my other 3 flash drives with the Samsung flash drive because they feel more sturdy and look my elegant. Compared to my other ones. I wish I could name the brand don't know if I can.
I would recommend this to a friend!
