Samsung Launches 512GB Capacity BAR Plus and FIT Plus USB Type-C Flash Drives

Samsung Electronics America, the leader in advanced memory technology, announced new 512 GB capacities for its BAR Plus and FIT Plus USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drives. The newest drives introduce more storage capacity to the lineup in the same sleek designs, perfect for storing your favorite tunes, irreplaceable photos/videos, and important work or school documents. These USB flash drives help you back up your data and save time thanks to their high capacity, quick speeds, wide device compatibility, and reliability.

"We recognize that professionals across the U.S. have more data storage needs than ever. That's why we're introducing a new size option within our cutting-edge BAR Plus and FIT Plus USB Flash Drive line-up, ensuring there is a storage solution for everyone," said Jose Hernandez, Senior Director of Memory Product Marketing at Samsung. "The drives are also intentionally designed to fit your personal style - whether you prefer something sleek and modern or unassuming and traditional, you can always be plugged in."
The 512 GB options offer read speeds of up to 400 MB/s and write speeds up to 110 MB/s to ensure quick data transfers. With the BAR Plus and FIT Plus USB flash drives, you can transfer a 3 GB 4K UHD video file to your PC in 10 seconds. Plus, they're extremely versatile thanks to compatibility with any device that uses a USB 3.1 port, and are also backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. For easy use, they are compatible with operating systems like Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
  • The stylish and minimalist design of the BAR Plus USB Flash Drive is a modern take on the classic USB flash drive. The sturdy metal body keeps your data safe, and the integrated key ring prevents accidental misplacement or loss. It's perfect for laptops and tablets.
  • The compact and discreet FIT Plus USB Flash Drive is designed to plug in and stay in your device for a seamless and unobtrusive look. It's perfect for laptops, tablets, televisions, car audio systems, gaming consoles, and more.
Thanks to the durability of the Samsung BAR Plus and FIT Plus USB Flash Drives, files stay secure - and both are backed by Samsung five-proof protection. These USB Flash Drives can withstand water, temperatures, x-ray, drops, and magnetic impact. They also come with a five-year limited warranty.

To round out the USB flash drive family, Samsung has also introduced a USB Type-C 512 GB flash drive. Supported by Samsung NAND flash, this compact drive fits into the palm of your hand and delivers reliable performance with fast data transfers.

With up to 400 MB/s read/write speeds and a USB 3.2 interface, you can transfer 4 GB files in just 11 seconds - giving you more time to work, play, watch and create. You can always stay connected across devices with extensive compatibility for laptops, tablets, smartphones, cameras and more.

I also have the 256GB version. USBC version is CRAP. Stopped working after about a month and you have to wiggle the heck out of it to get it recognized by the PC.... Seems like soldered connections to the USBC are terrible and I wouldn't consider this a very 'durable' flash drive....

So why didn't you RMA it?

The only issue I have with the BAR flash drives is the location of the key ring slot on the flash drive’s side, not the end. Makes it really annoying to store on an actual keyring.

I have a 256GB one. Supposedly the endurance is bad, about 30 TDW. Other than that I found it okay speedwise. I did end up upgrading to a portable SSD.

Too bad I don't live in the US, therefore cannot use this product. What a shame.

I lost all the connection with the recent technology events, it seems...
So do we have DNA encoded flash drives for Canadians, Central Americans, Europeans or Asians, not just for U.S. of Americans? /s
