Title: Great...once you figure out how to use it
Review: I needed this to take video footage off of my phone to put on my computer to edit for my monetized YouTube channel. After a few successful transfers, I ran into some problems that I have since fixed and returned to zero issues.1st. It will not copy files over 8 minutes. I learned this after shooting a 14 minute video I then had to reshoot because it refused to transfer it. Now, I shoot clips in bundles of 3 minutes in order to have a successful transfer.2nd. I like to create folders to move footage into so that it is presorted and easy to access when I need specific footage. This device lets you create folders but it will NOT move the footage over into that folder you created. It will say that it moved it but when I plug the device into my computer, the folder is nowhere to be found. I found that if I just move it all straight to the device without the folders, I can then upload it to my folders on my computer.I wish I could use folders on the front end because I shoot footage for different videos on the same day but it just takes a few minutes to manually pull the files I want and send to specific folders on the computer.So...all in all, this does EXACTLY what it said it will do, I just have to follow a few rules to make the transfer go smoothly.

Title: Works amazing!! Very impressed!
Review: Love this product and definitely recommend. Super easy to use.I bought this since my computer crashed and needed to clear out the 17000 picture and video I had on my phone! It plugs right in and starting downloading super fast. The picture took no time at all super fast and video took a few mins longer but honestly also super fast. I did notice someone had said the drive gets hot and it did for me toward the end but I think it was because I was using other apps while downloading once I noticed it I blow some cold air and just left it on the downloading page and it went back to being cool. Tip: leave on downloading page and it's faster. Great product especially for those that don't have a computer to back your picture off and remove them off your phone..besides clouds lol

Title: Perfect extended storage for MacBook Pro
Review: Bought it to extend storage on 2019 MacBook Pro. The write/read speed is decent enough (about 100Mbps). The best part is that it is so compact that it does not intrude even when moving around. I had been using a traditional external hard drive with cable which was cumbersome due to the cable and size, but this is barely noticeable plugged right alongside with the charging USB C. Highly recommended.

Title: Surprisingly fast, but could be better
Review: This is smaller that you think. It puts the thumb in thumb drive as it's barely bigger than the first digit in my thumb (and I have tiny baby carrot fingers). Thus far I've used it on my Android (Samsung) phone.It's surprisingly fast when I transferred files from my phone. So fast I didn't even have a chance to see if it would heat up.Unfortunately it won't fit most cases so you need to remove your case to get this to fit all the way in - extending the USB C just a bit would have been helpful. Although with an OtterBox style case I doubt a small increase would have done anything to help.Comparing it to the SanDisk drive of about the same size and price, that one came with a slide so you could push out a USB-C on one side and a regular USB on the other. Whereas this is only the C part, so if you have an older computer without a C port you'll need an adapter at extra expense. Also the SanDisk comes with software you can download that makes transferring files and automatic backups super easy. If you're not phone savvy to be able to access your files and know how to transfer them to this drive you're out of luck. Nothing was mentioned on the package about software. I figuredAnother thing that peeves me a bit is there's a hole on the cap and on the drive, obviously meant for either a ring or something you can thread through there. It would cost Samsung pennies to include something like that or at the very least a cord that keeps the drive connected to the cap so you don't lose it.The cap slides off very easily to open. So easily in fact, that I'm worried repeated use might make it so the cap just falls off on its own. Time will tell.I haven't used it often enough to see if it holds up. If it wipes my data or crashes or anything I'll update my review. For the Prime Day sale price of $22 for the 256 it was worth the price. If we're going by regular pricing I'd probably stick to the SanDisk even though it's not as sleek as this Samsung.

Title: Well built, compact thumb drive
Review: I typically buy Samsung flash storage and it usually doesnât let me down. This thumb drive is a compact solidly built unit which I hope will last me for years.So far I am happy with its performance and it is easily removed and replaced in to a computer. Given their quality and build I think this card is a great value for the money.

Title: Amazingly fast and very reliable
Review: I ordered these in different sizes. The 512gb, 256gb, 128gb, and the 64gb. When they arrived I was astonished at how small and compact they were. I liked that they were, and, that they had a cap to keep out the dust, dirt, and grime. I also liked that they had a hole on the side of the cap and body so that you won't lose either if you were to tie them together or put a tag on them to mark them. They are very portable and can go on a key chain or in your pocket. The speed was blazingly fast and they were easy to use. I was so impressed with them that I ordered more to store video, photos, and documents.

Review: Fantastic, noticeably faster than usb 3.0 r/wRoughly 100MB/s reads copying the entire drive, writes are twice as fast as SanDisk 3.0 which are the next best thing for the size and quality (40+ and 25MB/s respectively). Excellent drive for regular large file transfers if saving a few mins is worthwhile to you.(edit: added image) -> also, note that speeds in the image are relevent for practical use cases. i'm transferring a bunch of xxxMB to x,xxxMB videos and usually you don't transfer 200gigs at a time, so this is the first few gigs of a large transfer. the first few video files that transfer to the usb use up the embedded SDRAM and finish writing after it tells the operating system that it's done and ready for me. sdram modules are super quick but expensive so much flash drives have very limited sdram.as expected, speeds drop but only to 90MBps (megaBYTES, not megaBITS). compare that to any other flash drive in this price range which isn't 2.5" large and you'll quickly notice the tranfer rates for others plummet within a gigabyte of data transferred, but this drive keeps writing at >70-80MBps which is amazing! not 25-30 megabytes per second like i'm used to but sustainably over 3x that from even usb flash drives marketed as 3.1usb for file transfers. they're not lying, persay, because they'll transfer at that speed to their sdram for the first 800MB, but slow to 20-30 in short order.i'm transferring 100 gigs sustained at 80+ megabytes with a usb controller on its own pcie lanes via adapter card (so it's not going through the motherboard's chipset). this is as fast as this drive gets, and for the price difference it's well worth it for anyone regularly using this drive to transfer large files. these are real figures on linux from 5 mins ago Ubuntu LTS 21 and 22. I am very, very impressed with this thing the more i benchmark it.

Review: Samsung bugüne kadar depolama konusunda asla piÅman etmedi. Ãncesinde ünlü 2 markanın 3 tane belleÄini iade ettim(benzer fiyatlarda). Samsung gerek gerçek hayatta aktarım esnasında stabilliÄi olsun gerekse test sonuçları olsun gayet iyi. Testte sıralı okuma 400mB/s sıralı yazma 110mB/s ve rastgele okuma 12mB/s rastgele yazma 22mB/s sonuçları çıkıyor. İçine toplam 80GB foto ve video attım tek seferde ve aktarım boyunca küçük dalgalanmalar hariç gayet stabil ve hızlıydı. En az 70mB/s en çok 120mB/s gördüm. Parçalı ve binlerce dosya olduÄunu düÅünürsek muazzam sonuç. DiÄer markaların rastgele yazma hızı çok çok kötüydü. 100 üzerinden 95 puan veriyorum.
