    Read speed in USB 3.0: About 380 mb/s and WRITE SPEED: 60 mb/s and the most important thing, STABLE SPEED in 60mb/s, it's nice!!!. Let's see how long it lasts, but it works perfectly. Really happy with this USB.

    When Removing, before you remove the Drive, go into “This PC”, move the Cursor to “Samsung USB”, right click & click the button “eject.” Using the Eject can make you safely remove the USB without Issues..

      @Itzu hi there. The Corsair GTX usb drive is great but I haven’t seen what else has been released recently, it maybe worth having a look. Yea, usb drives are great for transferring but I wouldn’t recommend for long term storage, use a HDD. If a HDD become faulty you can still usually save the data, this form of storage is cheaper also. Hope this helps

    Good job on your video, just found it now.
    I just bought the Samsung Bar Plus USB 3.1 64GB and thought I would share what speeds I got with the 64GB size.
    Is there a reason why in general USB Flash Drives write so slow? Some of them like this one can read very fast but writes slow, or is this a fast write speed for a USB Flash Drive?
    I have USB 3.1 Gen 1 on my computer.
    Speeds measured with CrystalDiskMark v8.0.4
    Read: 305.22 MB/s
    Write: 35.22 MB/s

    it's mouth faster at nearly the same price.

      Erik Leth hi. Thanks for watching. All computers are different and there are various settings you can change to make a write/read speed faster such as caching which means that you cannot just go off the speed of the device alone. In my video I have shown the test result which should be more than adequate to prove its speed to anyone. Thanks for your recommendations. All the best.

    I bought a 64 GB one. The max speeds I am seeing is 25 MB/s.
    I am using a zenbook 14 with USB 3.1 Gen 1 port.

    • @Iminto
      @Iminto  5 років тому +1

      Fadic4 Hi. Thanks for your comment. The 32gb and 64gb drives are slower by 100mb/s for the read speed and so I’m sure the write speed will be affected too. It also depends on the files you are transferring. If you are transferring a mixed bag of large and small files then you will see a major decrease in performance. And last of all there is a setting you can change in Windows for the drive to make it faster however I wouldn’t recommend this as it increases the chances of data corruption on the drive. Hope this helps.

    • @Fadic4
      @Fadic4 5 років тому +1

      Iminto I’m transferring 10.7 GB of songs(mp3) from my laptop to my flash drive.
      I did read that the 64 GB is slower but should it be 25 MB/s slow?
      It starts at 60 MB/s initially, but that’s only for a fraction of a second then it immediately drops to 20ish MB/s and never goes past 25 MB/s. It has the same speed as my old Sandisk flash drive.
      I bought this Samsung one because I recently got a new laptop and it has a 3.1 gen 1 USB A port.
      I’ll probably just contact Samsung and see what’s up

    • @Iminto
      @Iminto  5 років тому

      @@Fadic4 Yes, it is probably correct as you are transferring many files at once (mp3s). Try for example to transfer one large file, you should notice the speed difference. Also, windows has write caching disabled as default, this is to protect the drive should the user pull the drive out whilst it is working which could in turn corrupt the data however if you are careful with it and never forget to manually eject your drives you can enable this in the control panel under the settings for your Samsung flash drive which will speed it up some what.

    My last pendrive was sandisk ultra fit one. Which had very nice ultra small size however... when it started to work on usb 3.0 it got extremly hot, to a point pendrive got disconnected and it happened regularly. I had to stick to usb 2.0 to not overheat the little guy. So there is my question, how is the heat distribution on this one? Will it stop working during 100gb transfer on usb 3.0?

    • @Iminto
      @Iminto  5 років тому +2

      Paweł Z Hi. Thanks for sharing that with us. I haven’t tried transferring 100gb in one go however I have transferred 45gb in one go on to the Samsung and that was in the form of many files and it wasn’t just one large file. I can confirm that whilst the pen drive did get warm, I wouldn’t have said it was hot to the touch and I didn’t come across any performance issues or crashing with it. Hope this helps

    • @pawe6199
      @pawe6199 5 років тому +1

      @@Iminto well thats comforting coz that ultra fit one i was talking before got heated so much u couldnt touch it. Im guessing 80C +. Its the cost of having such small area to get rid of heat I guess.
      Edit: the point of having large fast pendrive is quickly moving large amount of files after all right? To deal with a couple of photos I can go for china 8gb usb 2.0 and it still be relatively fast. If I go for 256 usb 3 up to 300 mb/s it is rather obvious im gonna expect quality work with larger files or bigger amounts ;)
      And thx for qiuck response!

    • @Iminto
      @Iminto  5 років тому +1

      Wow, yeah 80 degrees is very hot but yes I suppose the small size of it plays as a factor in its working temp. Working at temps like that though is bound to shorten its life span rather drastically lol, I wonder if this is normal for all of them or if you have a faulty one maybe?
      Yeah, having a large fast drive is great for transferring files from one place to another and is one of the reasons why I purchased the Corsair as that has the trim command and so I won’t be seeing performance loss overtime from constantly transferring stuff to and from it. I use the Samsung for a portable backup solution most of all as I know it’s not going to be cumbersome carrying it around, it doesn’t require an external power source and I know that it can take a good beating lol.

    I have the 256 GB version and it stopped working after the third use... Under windows the NTFS formatted drive shortely shows up in device manager (not in explorer). After two seconds it will be grayed out with yellow exclamation mark. Error 43, problem addressing the device. The drive isn't shown in explorer and it is even not listed in diskpart or device management console. So no chance to access the drive under Windows anymore. Under Mac Os the drive is shown in Finder and I can copy the files from it. But however I can't format it under Mac Os too. I've also tried it with my Raspberry Pi. Can't write anything to it there too and no chance to delete it. So I will return it to Amazon now and will get my money back.

    • @Iminto
      @Iminto  5 років тому +1

      Hi. Sorry to hear that you have been having problems with one. The first thing I had in mind was that it was a fake Chinese copy you had there however as you purchased it from Amazon I very much doubt that to be the case however this isn't impossible. Secondly, many things can cause a device to stop working such as removing one from your PC/laptop whilst writing to it or simply removing it without using the ejecting procedure. This is especially important if you have write caching enabled.
      Thirdly, another thing could be the drivers for it. A simple reinstall or rollback of the drivers may have fixed it also.
      If none of these are the case then I'm afraid you was just unlucky on this occasion. After looking through all of the reviews there were only a few people out of thousands that had said it had stopped working and no doubt half of these were the people that unplugged them during a writing process. I do understand though that there may have been manufacturing flaws on the odd few that would deem them useless, as you find with most manufactured items on the market.
      Thanks for sharing this with us, every insight is valuable to my viewers and your comments help people see the bigger picture on an item, and so your input is very much appreciated. Take care.

    • @Iminto

      Thanks for sharing this with us, its very helpful and a reminder for people that there are fakes out there. it is certainly buyer beware when purchasing anything and not just a USB flash drive.

    I don't recommend this pile of s***

      Jared Nielsen it sounds like you corrupted it by not ejecting it properly at some point, that’s what can happen to any usb drive or SD card unfortunately

      @Benjamin Santana thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
      Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
