Samsung USB Type-C 256GB 400MB/s USB 3.1 Flash Drive (MUF-256DA/APC)

Nice and small, fast and has enough capacity for most use cases. I'd probably lean towards getting the silver colour, since the titanium coating can wear away from constantly plugging it in. This is unavoidable.

I remember receiving a flash drive as a birthday present back in the day. It was 16mb and could hold a few photos. Not really worth the bother but I did feel like a spy for a while. How times change. Purchased this to plug into the back of the TV for purposes of a slideshow as screensaver. Nice metal case, small and unobtrusive, ample storage, and has worked like a charm since installed. A lot of utility for not a lot of money.

I purchased the Samsung USB Type-C Flash Drive specifically for storing dash cam footage in my car, and it has been an excellent choice. This flash drive's standout feature is its reliability under the continuous use demanded by dash cam recordings. The capacity is substantial, providing ample space for hours of high-definition video without the need for frequent transfers or deletions. This is particularly important for dash cam use, where you never want to miss recording crucial moments due to lack of storage. Its data transfer speeds are noteworthy. When I need to transfer footage to my computer or other devices, the process is swift and seamless, a crucial factor when handling large video files. The dual USB Type-C and Type-A connectivity further enhances its versatility, making it compatible with a wide range of devices. In terms of design, the flash drive's compact size is perfect for use in a car, as it doesn't protrude much from the dash cam, minimizing the risk of accidental knocks or damage. The build quality feels sturdy and reliable, an essential feature considering the varying temperatures and conditions inside a car. I also appreciate the simple plug-and-play functionality. There’s no need for any complicated setup; the drive works effortlessly with my dash cam and other devices. Overall, the Samsung USB Type-C Flash Drive has been a dependable and high-performing storage solution for my car's dash cam. It offers peace of mind, knowing that all my recordings are stored safely and can be accessed or transferred easily whenever needed.

I purchased my 256GB Samsung Fit Plus USB 3.1 flash drive (model MUF-256AB/APC) from Amazon itself (not a third-party seller), alongside the equivalent Sandisk Ultra Fit USB 3.1 flash drive of the same capacity (also sold by and dispatched from Amazon.co.uk). These very compact drives are excellent for plugging into a spare USB socket on my laptop and leaving in place as an extra level of storage and backup capacity. Separately making the same identical, large multiple-folder copy to each USB drive in identical conditions, mounted in the USB 3.1 sockets of my Windows 10 laptop from its internal SSD (which is only the 550 MB/sec older type, so not the fastest source available, but still quite nippy), I noticed that the Samsung was the faster of the two USB flash drives - not surprising as its maximum write speed is rated at 400 MB/s versus 130 MB/s for the Sandisk. The expected difference in speed was noted in a benchmark program test of each (the first screenshot shows the Samsung Fit Plus results as drive E and the second is the Sandisk Ultra Fit, as drive D), but the real-world copying task showed a much larger difference, as after the initial few minutes the Sandisk Ultra Fit slowed down and stopped for about 5 seconds roughly every 30 seconds (to cool down, I think) whilst the Samsung Fit Plus dipped only very slightly in speed occasionally and never stopped. The Samsung’s metal USB plug versus the plastic one of the Sandisk may be a factor here. The Samsung Fit Plus is very small and neat, and appears well-made. It is very slightly larger than the absolute smallest units of this type, but all are small enough to be very convenient and hardly noticeable when left in place permanently - these “fit drives” are vastly smaller than typical USB flash drives and their visible part when plugged in is smaller than the standard USB 3.1 plug portion. I see that some recent reviewers of this Samsung Fit Plus 256GB drive believe that their units are counterfeit. The packaging and appearance of mine (shown already opened by me) is identical to the photos provided in those reviews, as apparently is the Fit Plus drive itself. One reviewer drew this conclusion after running Samsung's Magician program, which failed to authenticate the Fit Plus drive, and they were also concerned by the absence of a serial number. My Fit Plus also has no serial number, but I believe that this is normal for these. I believe that the Samsung Magician program is intended for use with Samsung's Solid State Drives (SSDs) and so would be appropriate for use with their T5 and T7 external SSDs for example, which do have serial numbers, but it is not intended for use with a USB Flash drive. I downloaded from Samsung a different program, the Samsung Memory Card/UFD Authentication Utility, which is for drives like the Samsung Fit Plus and also Samsung memory cards. When I checked my Fit Plus, it confirmed it is an authentic Samsung product. I am very pleased with my purchase, and happy to have been able to confirm its authenticity, which is exactly what I would hope and expect of an item purchased from Amazon.co.uk. I give the product 4 stars rather than 5 only to reflect that even the fastest USB 3.1 flash drive is going to be slower than an internal SSD or the current high-speed external SSD drives that connect to USB C ports and use them to full advantage - but it is of course also cheaper, very convenient and a lot smaller than those!

Fantastic speed and quality in such a tiny device. I keep mine on my key ring on a clip off fob. Perfect. Very reliable so far.

Bit on the expensive side but hasn't failed me and hasn't broken. It sits in my wallet and carries all my files and hasn't corrupted and works well with transferring files from phones to tablets and so on with a USB c adapter. It's metal casing is perfect for every day used compared to the plastic ones and the use I have for it means that I can't have it failing on me good little USB stick

I bought this stick for my Blink Sync Module 2 and it have proven to be a great choice. It reads and writes quickly and allows immediate viewing of saved clips. The small size prevents it getting knocked out of place.

Great value for money

Piccola ma robusta, le prestazioni sono veramente valide in quanto i valori di scrittura e lettura corrispondono a quanto dichiarato. La penna scrive a velocità costante tra i 57 e i 62 Mb/sec dall'inizio alla fine senza cali o sbalzi di velocità anche quando è quasi piena; in lettura si mantiene tra i280 e i 350 Mb/sec costanti. Viene riconosciuta subito dai miei 2 pc, dallo smartphone (con adattatore USB C), dal mio televisore Toshiba e dal mio tablet Lenovo e non scalda (al massimo diventa tiepida). Se vogliamo trovare delle pecche diciamo che se c'era un piccolo led era meglio, ma va benissimo lo stesso. Straconsigliata CONSIGLIO: Per chi ha problemi di disconnessione con Fit Plus di Samsung (tutti i tagli) il problema è facilmente risolvibile. Basta andare in Gestione Dispositivi in Windows, selezionare porte USB, la porta in qui è inserita la penna, tasto destro proprietá, criteri e togliere la spunta dalla voce "disconnetti se non utilizzata per....... e non avrete più quel problema. Provato personalmente. AGGIORNAMENTO: Ho appena acquistato la nuovissima versione da 512 Gb e confermo le alte prestazioni delle altre versioni. Scrittura tra 106 e 114 Mb/sec. costanti e lettura tra 320 e 390 Mb/sec. anch'essi costanti; praticamente le stesse prestazioni della versione da 256 Gb con il doppio di spazio disponibile. Capacità effettiva 477 Gb come dovrebbe essere in formato binario (512 Gb decimali corrispondono a 476 Gb binari) e mai un calo di prestazioni; ho tutti i formati (128, 256 e 512 Gb) e al momento sono le migliori pen drive che abbia mai usato. CONSIGLIO TECNICO: Se capita che alla prima scrittura le velocità siano di 40 Mb/sec. eseguire le seguenti operazioni: 1 - Andare in gestione disco 2 - Tasto destro del mouse sulla chiavetta 3 - Eliminare volume 4 - Nuovo volume 5 - formattare EXFAT o NTFS Io ho avuto questo problema con la 128 e con la 512 e li ho immediatamente risolti in questo modo, ora vanno da Dio! Sono un tecnico informatico, se avete domande sono a disposizione

Samsung 512 GB. El pendrive es muy rápido, con velocidades sostenidas de lectura entre 380 MB/s y 400 MB/s y de escritura entre 100 MB/s y 110 MB/s. Funciona de forma excelente y por supuesto es Samsung original. También tengo el modelo de 256 GB y el rendimiento es el mismo. Creo que en capacidades más pequeñas (128 GB, 64 GB, etc.) las velocidades de lectura y escritura son más lentas. Lo he comprado en ART Suministros y escribo esta reseña porque cada vez es más difícil encontrar este tipo de productos auténticos, ya que abundan las copias chinas. En las capturas he utilizado un archivo de casi 40 GB para demostrar que las velocidades se mantienen incluso con archivos muy grandes. Otros pendrives que tengo alcanzan picos altos al principio, pero solo durante 20 o 30 segundos, después la velocidad cae a niveles ridículos, éste mantiene el rendimiento de forma constante.

Speed is excellent worth for money

Pen bastante pequena, elegante e rápida, com uma excelente construção em metal, perfeita para algo com bastante memoria e ao mesmo tempo pequena e mais robusta.
