  • I like the shape and size, very compact and easy to use.
  • So small and compact it was immediately lost.
Samsung BAR Plus 64GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive
  • Great form factor for handling - only as wide as a USB port so they won't cause any interference with adjacent ports.
  • A bit longer than the really small USB drives designed to stay mounted all the time, but therefore very easy to get in and out.
  • The drive enclosure feels excellent in your hand. The finish is great, the branding is subtle.
  • I absolutely love the shape, build quality, size, and form factor of this drive.
  • It is very portable, maybe even too portable its extremely small. It can be easily dropped and lost.

What customers say about "Features"
Samsung BAR USB 3.0 Flash Drive
  • It's a small flash drive. It works when I plug it in and has the advertised capacity.
  • It keeps pace with other USB 3.0 drives on the market.
  • Got it to watch 4K movies on the TV thru USB 3.0 and it works good with no lag.
  • I like that it's supposed to be waterproof, which should provide some protection from clumsy spills and sweaty pockets.
  • The protection is not good, you have to be careful with the use.
  • Not as durable as I hoped, I would not purchase the plastic one again with borderline rugged use plastic body broke apart.
Samsung BAR Plus 64GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive
  • Fairly fast overall for the price, and clearly very fast at sequential reads.
  • Good looking, tough stainless steel body.
  • Great size/storage and a nice, premium feel. Gets warm but not too crazy hot.
  • I love the size, it fits in a tight space - I'm using it on a NVIDIA shield for some extra storage space. Works perfectly for that. The speed and size looked great.
  • Wish for faster write speeds. Gets warm but not so hot as to be a concern so far.
