Samsung FIT Plus USB 3.2 Flash Drive, 512GB USB Standard Type-A, Speeds Up to 400MB/s / 110MB/s, Portable Storage Memory Stick, Durable Thumb Drive Backward Compatible with USB 2.0, MUF-512AB/AM

I bought this USB flash drive to use with my Blink camera and doorbell system's Sync Module 2 for storage and in case I don't want to pay the subscription fee. Blink has a flash drive but it is only 64GB. I wanted a larger one and since I love Samsung products, I got this USB drive in 128GB size. It came in the recommended format ExFAT and meets all the requirements for Blink's use. I just plugged it in to the module and it was immediately accepted and in use.

I would not call these fast, but I do like the size. I use them on Dongles to archive content from my portable devices. And for that they fit the bill. Because i am not doing a lot of small read/writes I would expect them to hold up over time. I have a few that I have had for more than 5 years with no issues so far. I also use the BAR drives about the same price. I like these better. If you are looking for the fastest performance these are not it.

Wow, fast and small. I'll leave it in my laptop all the time to run a virtual machine. I've bought three other sticks but didn't pay attention to the speeds and so they were all cheap and really just USB 2 speeds. Finally, I have a small stick that gets great throughput.

Do you have a very large homework folder you don't want anyone to find. Samsung's got you.

I needed for my smart TV which is low on memory and is a 2020 Toshiba model. This came up with a search for the TV as memory and was an Amazon choice. The TV only has 4 GB memory and was automatically deleting apps on me but apparently saving my app data for if I reload the app. It also started to shut down apps suddenly. The TV has no card slot and only one USB port. I installed this thumb drive and it did not recognize that anything was attached. I researched for this problem and found that the TV may not recognize it if a newer chip format is used and to try reformatting it to Fat32. I tried this on my computer and it did not give me the option and It showed it as exfat format. Looking into it more I found that Microsoft put a limit of 32 GB to format a memory chip, probably to trying to coerce other companies to adopt their newer formats. This apparently may not be working so well and some companies may still be selling products using it. Anyway, it is possible apparently to reformat this thumb drive to fat32 if your download some software from individuals online or use a new test version of Microsoft Windows software. I decided to just buy a 32 GB fat32 thumb drive and save this one for future use. I tested an old fat32 thumb drive and it worked just fine. If Microsoft updates their software to allow formatting above 32 GB in fat32, I may use this thumb drive then. You can do searchs for fat32 thumbdrives.

Does the job quickly at a good price.

I’ve been using the Samsung MUF-256AB FIT Plus USB drive for a while, and it’s been great. It’s small and portable, so I don’t have to worry about it sticking out of my laptop. The transfer speeds are fast, and 256GB gives me plenty of space. I haven’t had any issues, but I’ve heard others mention it can sometimes become read-only. Hasn’t happened to me yet. Overall, it’s a solid and convenient drive for everyday use.

I purchased both the 64GB and 128GB versions of these USB drives for use as Windows recovery drives, storing Macrium Reflect Windows PE environments, and saving Macrium drive images. Overall, they performed well in testing.I ran full CrystalDiskMark tests on all ten drives (five of each size), and results were consistent overall. The 64GB drives averaged around 150 MB/s read and 40 MB/s write, while the 128GB drives reached approximately 180 MB/s read and 60 MB/s write. All ten drives passed H2TestW with no errors, confirming their integrity. The 128GB drives handled large file transfers well, and none of the drives overheated or throttled during use.There were a couple of downsides. Two of the 64GB drives showed slight variations in write speeds—not a dealbreaker but worth noting. The biggest issue for me is their extremely compact size. While that makes them great for portability, they can be difficult to grip and remove, especially if used frequently. If size is a concern, I found case extensions for the FIT Plus available on the electronic bay that might help.If you need reliable, fast, and compact USB drives for backups, recovery tools, or general storage, these are a solid choice. Just be aware that the small size might not be for everyone.
