Everyday carry storage

The Samsung BAR Plus MUF-256BE3 is a 256GB USB 3.1 Type-A flash drive built for daily file transport. Its metal housing and integrated key ring suit students, office workers and creatives who need durable pocket storage.

Plug into any USB-A port

The drive draws power directly from the host and requires no extra cables, drivers or software. It frees up internal drive space by moving large media libraries, project files or system images onto a removable device.

256GB capacity with 400MB/s reads

Sequential reads reach 400MB/s and writes reach 200MB/s, so multi-gigabyte video transfers finish quickly. The drive is less suited to workloads that demand sustained write throughput above 200MB/s or capacities beyond 256GB.

Questions about this item

Will the write speed drop below the rated 200MB/s during large sustained transfers?

The drive is rated for up to 200MB/s write speed; thermal throttling under heavy continuous load may reduce actual throughput.

Does the metal casing become hot or draw extra power during all-day use?

The aluminium body dissipates heat naturally and the USB 3.1 interface limits bus power to standard levels, so temperature and consumption stay within normal flash-drive ranges.

What host port is required to reach the advertised 400MB/s read rate?

A USB 3.1 or USB 3.2 Type-A port is needed; older USB 2.0 ports will fall back to much slower speeds.
