Advantages: Build quality, design, speed

Disadvantages: Price

Comment: On a dark color, scratches from usb are visible, it is better to take a light one

Advantages: The size. It is much smaller than it appears in the photo. Work speed. Really fast, of course not as advertised, but nevertheless. Design. Looks stylish, can be safely worn with keys.

Disadvantages: The price is high. No, she's not unrealistically tall, but tall)

Comment: In general, I am satisfied, I would even buy 256.

Advantages: I needed a "big" pocket flash drive. Dropped out for Samsung BAR Plus 256GB. The first thing I liked was the aluminum case. The second is a hole to hang on the keys. The third is reliable according to reviews. The speed was not particularly high, but during use I did not notice that it slows down a lot. I am happy with the purchase as an elephant.

Disadvantages: I read the reviews before buying, so I was ready ....

Comment: Nice big stick for my needs. YES it heats up when it works, but it is small and the heat must be taken away somewhere ... It looks like a whistle, it weighs little in your pocket, it is not noticeable, I carry it with keys - it does not interfere and is always at hand. For my needs, speed is enough, yes, writing large streams of information at once takes a long time ... but if you extract or write a document, it is almost instantly. I was completely satisfied.

Advantages: - Appearance - Speed ​​of work - Quality of materials and workmanship

Disadvantages: - Form - Price

Comment: The flash drive is really fast in both reading and writing. It looks beautiful, very pleasant to the touch, but the shape is inconvenient. The protrusion is quite large, the pocket protrudes only in this way. IMHO it was worth making it two times lower, then it would be convenient to use everything, and it would be convenient to carry it in your pocket. About the price: the price is unreasonably high in my opinion. I would not take this flash drive at such a high price. Think for yourself, decide for yourself.I have models for 128 and 256 gigabytes.

Advantages: Excellent reliable flash drive from a renowned manufacturer! Unbreakable constructive. Small in size, just right for a bunch of keys! I took 128 and 256 Gb, both work fine. When warming up, the write speed drops to 40-50 MB / s. But this is not a minus, see the comments.

Disadvantages: Relatively expensive among its competitors. Sharp corners of the flash drive. If they are somehow justified from the side usb connector, then why did the same sharp corners on the back side?

Comment: Usually I bought capacious SanDisk flash drives from the Cruzer or Ultra series, but I was not satisfied with the write speed, which, when the flash drives warmed up, dropped to a very small 12-20 MB / s. The fact that the flash drive heats up is not a drawback, almost all fast flash drives heat up. The main thing is not to burn out. So far I have not heard of these burnt-out Samsung flash drives. The same cannot be said about other manufacturers. In the end, I was very pleased with the purchase.

Advantages: High-quality and convenient flash drive with a large memory capacity of 128 GB, at an affordable price. The reading speed is very high. Recording large files on average about 25-40 MB / sec. Very compact and pleasant in appearance.

Disadvantages: Slow write speed, especially for large amounts of various data, small files and folders. In my case, on an Acer laptop and Windows 8.1, it does not always record this data stably, the speed will change. Heats up with active work and load. Made in a metal case, so scratches will appear very quickly.

Comment: The overall impression is positive, especially considering the fact that the usb from this manufacturer has never been used, preferring Transcend and Kingston. Conclusion: you can buy safely who needs a large amount of memory, average speed characteristics and a quality product from a reliable manufacturer. Happy shopping!

Advantages: costs 1.5 times less than in dns. fast, practical

Disadvantages: did not reveal

Comment: advise

Advantages: Cool design, compliance with the declared characteristics, compactness

Disadvantages: Scratches are more noticeable on the gray case

Comment: This flash drive can be used even for a portable system (Windows, Kali ..), but the write speed is small, but as for a flash drive - top.

Advantages: - stylish body; - high speed (especially reading); - does not get very hot.

Disadvantages: - slightly sharp corners.

Comment: For a flash drive with such a price, the speed is quite high. An external SSD will certainly have more speed, but it's still a flash drive. It is better to take a silver model, because when installed in the port, traces remain on the USB flash drive, and on the silver one is less noticeable.
