Samsung USB Type-C 256GB 400MB/s USB 3.1 Flash Drive (MUF-256DA/APC)

Nice and small, fast and has enough capacity for most use cases. I'd probably lean towards getting the silver colour, since the titanium coating can wear away from constantly plugging it in. This is unavoidable.

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.

Fantastic speed and quality in such a tiny device. I keep mine on my key ring on a clip off fob. Perfect. Very reliable so far.

Please note, 256GB stick actually only has 238 of available storage - 18GB missing. Likewise on the 128GB sticks there is 9GB missing. ie 7% missing from each. Presumably it's the same for the 64GB. Screenshots attached show data info, and relevant page from Samsung's data sheet available online (see Point 5). 7% is quite a chunk. If it's for some kind of hidden system file just advertise them at the lower storage level - they're still worth it and much better than the others I've used. I've looked on Diskgenius and it shows 119.5GB storage but registers the full 128 but it can't be seen. If you're tech savvy maybe it makes sense and you can fix it. I'm not! Samsung will not help with this, they just give your money back. But all that aside, I will probably repurchase because other big brands I've tried have the same issue not only with usb sticks but also with memory cards. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I got a 128GB one and was so impressed I bought the 256 too. It works on any USBC device (not just Samsung) straight out of the box, with no formatting needed. It's just as the manufacturer describes - fast, sturdy, solid, well designed (cap fits perfectly and doesn't fall off), and completely reliable. It never gets hot unlike a lot of flash drives I've used, maybe slightly warm after a while using the 256. Good value for something that is clearly going to last for ages (they have a 5 Yr warranty). If you are using it with a mobile device note that it won't always fit with certain cases particularly thick ones as it's wider than a charger cable but it fits fine with the pink type case,(ie lots of space around the port). If you don't use cases though it isn't an issue.

Bit on the expensive side but hasn't failed me and hasn't broken. It sits in my wallet and carries all my files and hasn't corrupted and works well with transferring files from phones to tablets and so on with a USB c adapter. It's metal casing is perfect for every day used compared to the plastic ones and the use I have for it means that I can't have it failing on me good little USB stick

Definitely a cut above other branded competitors re. speed. I bought two -- one for each of my computers -- to replace two SanDisk USB memory sticks which I use solely for my ("portable") Gmail as it frees up my computer for other things, etc. The SanDisk flash drives I was using were not "bad" as such, but replacing them on both of my computers with this Samsung flash drive made a significant difference in speed. Quite remarkable & surprising! So, an easy recommendation. Hard to do better here, I feel.

Great value for money
