This is an outstanding value considering price, performance, and a robust design.
I work in Information Technology and use flash drives every day. The Samsung is my favorite. I will purchase a few more of these and tell my co-workers about them as well. Thank you Samsung for continuing to deliver quality products at a reasonable price.

Disappointed with this purchase!
on July 5, 2025
Posted by: Hendershotinski
from Salem Oregon
Expertise:Intermediate
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im a Samsung Fanatic! From their first music/media player to my now 30+ products. I've only had issues with 3 of them. The ice-maker in my fridge, the clothes washing machine and 2 of these little guys. Used them both for less than 2 months (random stuff at half or less capacity). Then I used both to back up my WEDDING photos and HONEYMOON/TRIP TO EUROPE. Fast forward 8 months and neither will even read from any device even the one that put the data on it. Devastating to lose all of those memories. My wife still won't forgive me and refuses to use Samsung anything because of this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Reviewing the quality of USB 3.1 Flash Rrive
on March 22, 2022
Posted by: NUSKAN
from Atlanta, GA
Expertise:Expert
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that the build quality is very good. I've used pendrives of 6 companies before and none have a build quality like this. I've used this product for 3 months and the speed has been up to the mark. I use other products of Samsung too, and there are some products which are of normal quality but I think that most of the products are extremely good and are a perfect value for the consumer's money. I hope that Samsung will continue to build amazing products for the consumers to enjoy.
I would recommend this to a friend!
