Everyday portable storage

Check your USB port version

Verify that your host device offers a USB 3.1 or 3.2 Type-A port to reach the advertised transfer rates; older USB 2.0 ports will work but limit performance. Ensure the operating system supports exFAT or NTFS for files larger than 4GB.

Metal housing with built-in key ring

The one-piece metal casing resists water, shock and extreme temperatures while the attached loop secures the drive to a lanyard or keychain. This design reduces the chance of loss and protects the connector during transport.

Questions about this item

What is included with the SAMSUNG BAR Plus 256GB flash drive and do I need to buy anything else to use it?

The drive comes with an OEM USB lanyard attached to its integrated key ring. No extra cables, adapters or software are required — plug the Type-A connector into any USB 3.1 or 3.2 port and it works immediately.

Should I choose the 256GB model or the 512GB model for my needs?

Pick 256GB if you mainly move documents, photos and a few videos. Choose 512GB when you regularly carry large project files, game installs or full system backups that would exceed the smaller capacity.

What does the 400MB/s read speed mean when I copy files to my laptop?

It is the maximum sequential read rate over USB 3.1. Real-world transfers of large video files will approach this figure, while mixed small files will be slower; write speed reaches up to 200MB/s on the same interface.
