Title: Excellent flash drive!!
Review: UPDATED Review: New Samsung DUO PlusI purchased this after upgrading my MacBook Pro to the new 16â€ model, which has USB-C ports.I originally bought a similar duo drive by Kingston, but couldnâ€™t suffer the slow speeds and constant freezing, so looked for something better.This flash drive allows you to use both USB-C and USB-A, which is convenient if you are transferring files from a laptop to the new Mac. Remember to line up the arrows when using the USB-A adapter for optimal performance.I run a speed test using the USB-C port on a MacBook Pro and the results were: 64MB/s write and 383.9MB/s read, which is very impressive.The product is well made and comes with an end cap to protect the connectors from accidental damage when not in use. Samsung advertises that the drive is shock-proof, waterproof, temperature-proof, magnet-proof and x-ray-proof, which would be ideal for travellers, photographers, etc.Ideally, I would like Samsung to offer a smaller USB-C drive like their FIT Plus, which is 2/3 smaller than this one (see photo comparison), as the smaller flash drives have less chance of breaking if caught on something. Until then, this is a great alternative.I would definitely recommend this product and would happily buy again.Original Review of the FIT Plus:I searched the internet for good USB 3.1 flash drives and was in two minds whether to get this or the SanDisk. I’ve always used SanDisk drives in the past, but thought I’d give Samsung a go. I have to say that I’ve not had any problems with this at all. It transfers data very fast and I’ve not experienced any warming up of device (even when large amounts GB’s onto it).It’s small and doesn’t stick out like other flash drives. It’s perfect if you want to put movies on to watch on your TV or music to play in the car.

Title: Elegant Yet Powerful
Review: Unfortunately my previous USB was obliterated after tripping over my laptop charging leed and it falling on the USB stick while in the port so I looked around for a well priced, small and robust USB which could handle high transfer speeds, something which was a high priority for me when looking for a large capacity drive. I ended up buying the 128GB model of this USB stick and was very happy with what I got, It looks very stylish and feels weighty which gives a very quality and sturdy feel when combined with the metal unibody. The performance was pretty good too, I measured 330MB/s read and a slightly dissapointing 66MB/s write however the random reads and writes were very good compared to all my previous drives, averaging about 3MB/s. It only gets slightly warm during long transfers which is a big improvement from my last one which had the potential to cause burns. It goes well on a keyring however only really works one way, if you flip it round so that the flat side is closest to the keys then it sticks out a good 90 degrees and refuses to go round any further. All in all, a great product and I would definitely reccomend it for the price.

Title: Very Good
Review: I got this to help me transfer files from my laptiop to my tablet and also for watching downloaded video on my XBOX. This Samsung USB Stick is perfect because it is plug and play, comes with nothing installed on it and has fast read write speeds. It’s also got a metal casing so is very solid and robust. It’s perfect for playing videos on my XBOX and I have had no issues with the media when being played directly from this Samsung Stick. I have dropped a star off because it states it’s 64GB however there is only 59.7GB free space which is a little disappointing.

Title: One of the best USBs I’ve ever owned
Review: I was not expecting this device to be so small but it doesn’t bother me. But do make sure you attach this to a key chain or the like because this device will definitely be prone to being lost or misplaced.I’m not one to gripe about speeds. These days you hardly ever find a drive that has the speed that the item depicts so why bother complaining about it? Besides it all depends on the quality of your particular drive, the device onto which you’re transferring data, the USB port, etc. And this drive seems to do just fine. Do I wish it was faster? Sure. Do I wish all drives were faster? Of course. As long as the drive isn’t slower than molasses in winter, I couldn’t care less. Anyway, for the most part, USB drives have decent enough speeds and 99% of the time you get what you pay for (in a good way).I see complaints about the USB being scratched when entering and exiting the USB ports. USBs and USB ports have been around for 15 years, so this should be common sense by now. I don’t understand how everyone isn’t aware that when you’re plugging and unplugging a USB in and out of a port, you’re scraping metal against metal. What do you expect? Literally, all of my USB flash drives and USB charging cables have those specific line scratches. Even if a particular port is loose, scratches are inevitable because people plug their USBs into other ports and some ports or USBs will have a tighter fit. Unless you’re a USB flash drive collector, oddly, don’t worry about the aesthetics of the drive. Plus, you can always get the white version if it bugs you as white hides scratches easier.Overall, superb drive and no complaints. Worth the money.

Review: This is the only one out of many (that I tried) which actually looks like its write speed is close to what was advertised. Very fast and portable. I actually got the second one, once I tried the first one. Definitely recommend it ðŸ’¯

Review: Chunky metal construction is just what’s needed for “live” use, such as when running a Linux OS. A thumb drive can get awfully warm in such circumstances, and that metal housing helps greatly with heat dissipation. The one downside is the drive’s slick, tapering shape, which makes it a tad difficult to grab/pick up from a flat surface (unless of course you attach it to a lanyard or a keychain).
