NO usb stick lives up to it’s data read/write speeds! This Samsung USB thumb drive is no exception! Below are industry standard speeds for the USB versions and below that I will list the speed, real world, of this Samsung 256GB driveTheoretical SpeedvsActual Transfer SpeedUSB 2.0 480Mbps 30MB/s or 57.2205 MbpsUSB 3.0 5Gbps 400MB/sUSB 3.1 10Gbps 800MB/sUSB 3.2 20Gbps 2000MB/sThe Samsung USB drive numbersTransferring 15 LINUX iso files from a NVME equipped new computer and the USB drive plugged into a USB 3.1 slot resulted in a speed of between 105 to 115 MbpsCrystal DiskMark numbersRead 412 MB/sWrite 116 MB/sYes I would buy it again, it’s at lease faster than my kingston drives and the price is VERY good for the size/capacity

Excellent design, customer love the qualityVery fast transfer rate and quality portable USB storage.100% recommend this product.

Update: ordered 2 of these and this is a follow up after many hours of use.I was tired of the plastic case units that eventually would break a tab or not stay open, then there is the issue of extremely low transfer speeds. No more, got this unit and the transfer speed is excellent. The case is solid metal and offers great protection and a long life. Bought two of the 128GB and couldn’t be happier.Update to address some of the negative reviews.1) This does get warm. That is good, all chips heat up. Plastic case units do not radiate the heat and it is retired in the chip which can shorten its lie. A warm case means it is acting as a heat sink and protecting the unit.2) Yes it is a bit slippery, but there is a loop in the top where to can attach a thin lanyard or loop if needed. I have no problem with it.3) Compatibility. I have used this on MACOS, Windows Linux and IOS devices, both new (2 months) and old 6 years and have no issue with compatibility. Keep the unit formatted as ExFAT and you shouldn’t have any problem.4) Speed. The USB slot you plug into will control the speed. Use a USB3 for maximum throughput. Don’t blame the flash drive if you are seeing slow speeds on a USB2 slot.5) As with all flash drives, keep them away from static, don’t use them as a hockey puck and keep them dry.Bottom line: This is a very good Flash Drive

Bought three of these Samsung BAR plus in 64GB, two for key chain use, one to have handy on my desk. Made sure Amazon was the seller to help avoid any risk of non-genuine Samsung parts. Just arrived and burned each one in briefly using CrystalDiskMark, so I could both be sure each worked and compare speeds between the units. All three tested within about 2% of each other on each benchmark. Importantly, the sequential read speeds exceeded the claimed 200 MB/s in each case, averaging 224 MB/s. Writes were all 34MB/s. All tests were conducted on my laptop, a Lenovo Flex5, on a USB 3.0 port. Clearly the sequential read speeds take advantage of USB3.0 bandwidth.Overall very pleased for the price and the key chain friendly stainless steel casing. Note I did put a cover on the USB end of each, using the covers from Honbay 40pcs Semitransparent Black and Clear Plastic USB Male Anti-Dust Plug Stopper Cap Cover . I wanted just a bit more protection when used on key chains from dents and the elements. These Honbay covers fit snugly yet come off relatively easily. These feel like TPR, which is good for grip and flexibility.Pros+Fairly fast overall for the price, and clearly very fast at sequential reads.+Good looking, tough stainless steel body+Great form factor for handling – only as wide as a USB port so they won’t cause any interference with adjacent ports, a bit longer than the really small USB drives designed to stay mounted all the time, but therefore very easy to get in and out, especially with the raised end near the lanyard hole providing a nice grip.+Hangs just fine on my key chain, a Maxpedition Gear Keyper Maxpedition Gear Keyper, Foliage Green using a FREEkey ring, the absolutely most secure rings you can buy in my experience FREEkey Accessory Ring Spares, 10 Count Cons-wish for faster write speeds-gets warm but not so hot as to be a concern so farNo data yet on reliability, will updated if I find any issues.CrystalDiskMark results, below…———————————————————————–CrystalDiskMark 6.0.0 x64 (C) 2007-2017 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World : https://crystalmark.info/———————————————————————–* MB/s = 1,000,000 bytes/s [SATA/600 = 600,000,000 bytes/s]* KB = 1000 bytes, KiB = 1024 bytes Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 224.198 MB/s Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 34.365 MB/s Random Read 4KiB (Q= 8,T= 8) : 13.355 MB/s [ 3260.5 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 8,T= 8) : 13.147 MB/s [ 3209.7 IOPS] Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 13.285 MB/s [ 3243.4 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 13.377 MB/s [ 3265.9 IOPS] Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 12.632 MB/s [ 3084.0 IOPS] Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 12.593 MB/s [ 3074.5 IOPS] Test : 1024 MiB [E: 0.0% (0.0/59.8 GiB)] (x5) [Interval=5 sec] Date : 2018/07/03 4:03:29 OS : Windows 10 Professional [10.0 Build 17134] (x64)
