I recently bought it in champagne color because I read in the comments that it scratches easily. I got it with 128GB because I thought the price-to-capacity ratio was good.
Overall, I am very satisfied for various reasons.
It has very good compatibility even with an 18-year-old PC with USB1.
It doesn't heat up or heats up very little.
It is fast, although this mainly depends on the machine and the port.
It has gone through many experiments and various formatting systems. Finally, I installed Linux Mint 19.2 on it, customized as I wanted, with a hybrid UEFI boot system and the old MBR.
I also created an ExFAT partition to make it visible and accessible from Windows if needed.
In other words, I created an operating system that adapts to different computers, tailored to my needs, with all the bells and whistles. I know it is inferior to its sibling with the round hole, but it also costs only a quarter of the price.
It was purchased from abroad in May and after a few months it started freezing. Even with formatting, it didn't fix. The foreign store required the original packaging for the return, while the Greek dealership responded that they couldn't do anything.
I bought it because it was metallic, beautiful, and practical. Big mistake... without use, it broke, I can't even format it... and I lost my files... WASTED MONEY
What interests everyone, unfortunately, is not seen in most USB sticks in the comments according to the disk mark:
Read Speed 38 MB
Write Speed 22 MB
In the nominal speeds, it is stated that it goes up to 200 MB for read, so it is far from the nominal speeds. I did not find anything for write nominal speeds.
It is quite more expensive compared to the competition. Most USB sticks have similar speeds to this one.
I chose it because it is convenient to be put on a keychain
Recently acquired, in search of a USB stick with speed and reliability for live USB usage, using Linux installed on a USB, where speed and reliability are critical factors.
Initially, I did not consider Samsung in the market, but the fact that the company is a manufacturer of memory chips and controllers for computers and is known for their speed made me change my mind.
Indeed, during usage, it is fast and in read/write operations, in fact, one of the fastest on the market, second only to top brands like Sandisk Extreme Pro, but with a significant price difference.
The build quality is excellent, with a convenient metallic design, without annoying LED indicators (always unnecessary), in a small size - not too small to get lost - and it appears to be durable.
I highly recommend it.
What is the difference with www.skroutz.gr/s/15976628/Samsung-Bar-Plus-64GB-USB-3-1.html, as Bar Plus is exactly the same as MUF-64BE, the former being the commercial name and the latter being Samsung's code? None, it is exactly the same product in the exact same packaging.
After months of use, on an almost daily basis, the external coating easily fades. The speeds remain good.
