Capacity and interface

The Samsung Bar Plus is a 512 GB USB flash drive with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A connector. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 400 MB/s and write speeds up to 300 MB/s. The drive is built around a metal body that resists water, temperature extremes, shock, magnetic fields and x-rays. An integrated keyring loop allows easy attachment to keys or bags.

Who this suits

Users who need a compact, durable drive for moving large media files between PCs, Macs, smart TVs or car infotainment systems will benefit from the 512 GB capacity and rugged housing. Buyers who require hardware encryption or password protection should look elsewhere, as the drive offers only lightweight security features.

Deciding specification

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface limits maximum throughput to 5 Gbps, so sustained transfer rates top out at the quoted 400 MB/s read and 300 MB/s write. If your workflow demands faster speeds, you will need a drive with a higher-specification USB interface.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port does my device need for the 400 MB/s read speed?

A USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port is required to reach the 400 MB/s sequential read speed.

Will the metal body and keyring loop survive daily use alongside older USB 2.0 ports?

The drive works with USB 2.0 ports at reduced speed; its metal casing resists water, shock, x-rays, magnetic fields and extreme temperatures.

How can I verify the drive delivers the advertised 400 MB/s read and 300 MB/s write speeds after setup?

Copy a large file and measure transfer time with a benchmark tool; a 4 GB file should take roughly 9 seconds at the rated read speed.
