Samsung flash drive FIT PLUS 256GB

The Samsung 128GB Gunmetal Gray flash drive has been a great choice for storing my professional wedding photos and videos. It feels solid and well-built, with a sleek metal design that gives it a premium feel and good durability. Transfer speeds are fast and reliable, which makes moving large photo and video files quick and hassle-free. With 128GB of space, it easily handles high-resolution images and long video sessions without worrying about running out of storage. It also works smoothly across different devices, which is really useful when backing up or sharing files. Overall, it’s a dependable and efficient flash drive that’s perfect for photographers or anyone needing secure, portable storage for important media.

These are great USB memory sticks. 350mb/s read maintained regardless of amount of data stored on the stick. 110mb/s write speed also maintained regardless of data written to the stick. They are even fast enough for tasks that require average 2.5" hard drive r/w performance or above. The price is not bad either for the quality, capacity and performance. Compact enough to leave in wihout knocking and damaging either the stick or the laptop. Not so small that you wonder how reliable it is going to be given the storage capicity. Smart looking, strong plastics, well made. I've had many Memory sticks of many capacities including others of 128GB/256GB and even 512GB. This is up there amongst the best. Not supposed to be an ultra fast drive, but still significantly and usefully fast for a lot of things. I've had some sticks slow down with certain amount of data written, have erratic write speeds, even read speeds. Also, I've had not much cheaper sticks with fluctuating 15mb/s to 60mb/s write speeds out of the box and these were top brands. I won't mention them. Like they make the best SSD's, Samsung appear to make some of the best memory sticks too. I thoroughly recommend.

I bought this for playing music in the car from the USB source. Previously I had stacks of MP3 files stored on USB 2.0 drive, but after changing vehicles, the infotainment system not supports FLAC lossless quality and what a difference it makes. I'm not an audio snob, but playing the same file on one source as an MP3 and on the other source as a FLAC, I could really hear the difference and the missing mid range sounds now restored. So as all my music was going to treble in size using FLAC format, I needed a decent storage size and wanted USB 3.0+ to improve transfer times from my PC to Flash drive. I spent a few days researching the various brands and reading reviews, and finally took a chance on this Samsung Fit Plus 64 Gb 3.1 Flash Drive. I'm pleased to report I didn't get a F A K E product, which was one of my main concerns. I had mine verified by Samsung, but only after I called them up with the serial number, as the Samsung Utility was not recognising the serial code. The Samsung agent said they hadn't updated the database as yet and that the serial number was genuine. So with much relief I could get on with the task of transferring my FLAC audio file over to the flash drive. I also like the additional robust protection claimed by Samsung: Waterproof, X-Ray proof, Temperature proof, Magnet and Shock proof. It also has a 5 year warranty, so that is reassuring. Claimed transfer speed is up to 300 MB/S and whole FLAC albums copied across very quickly. So all in all very pleased and this would be my preferred choice when buying another drive.

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!

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.

Nice and small so is perfect for low profile in the 3D printer

Very small for the storage space it provides, fast enough to run a Live OS on.

Works perfectly

super,c est ce que je recherchais,tres petite pour une borne d arcade,fonctionne tres bien,jamais observé de problème

It is fast, durable, and reliable.

Ich habe diesen USB-Stick für meinen neuen Bambu Lab X2D gekauft. Ich hatte die Version mit 64 GB schon an meinem Bambu Lab P2S und war damit sehr zufrieden. Der Stick ist schnell, was aber für den 3D-Drucker nicht so wichtig ist. Das Hauptkriterium für den Kauf war, dass der Stick nicht so groß ist, aber trotzdem ausreichend Speicherplatz bietet. Und genau das bietet dieser Stick. Also ich kann den USB-Stick sehr empfehlen und hatte mit den 64GB Versionen bisher keine Probleme.

Door de snelheid erg fijn om snel data uit te wisselen.

Works as expected, no problems whatsoever.
