I have lately been using a NVMe USB enclosure for this purpose, but due to NVMe's (relatively) high power draw, I have to use a USB dongle with power input while making the transfer. Not the end of the world but far from convenient. In the past I have experimented with other USB-C drives, but they've all been far too slow in the write department to be realistic. You may have 300MB/s of read but if your write speed is a paltry 21-22MB/s, you're as good as useless for me. This was the case for the older Samsung USB-A flash drives, and even the newer USB 3.1 gray ones.
This one, by contrast, is still not amazing on writes which is to be expected for a traditional flash drive, but it is FAR better than any USB-C drives I have used in the past. On very large transfers (100+GB) it usually settles down to around 75-80MB/s within the first 30 seconds or so, and stays at that speed for the entire transfer. Doesn't get too hot (just warm) and works well.
Reads are excellent so far. On Windows I'm getting around 365MB/s continuously. The only real issue with this drive is on very large reads, it will overheat. It gets quite hot on these high speed reads and after around 75-80GB, mine disconnected and stopped the transfer. Thankfully Windows seems pretty good about file management and after it sits for a while and cools down, hitting Try Again seems to work reliably.
Overall very happy with this drive. It's pretty darn small for 256GB, and fast enough that I can deal with it for the convenience of not needing to use any dongles.

First and foremost, the transfer speed is nothing short of remarkable. Whether it's moving hefty media files or backing up important documents, this flash drive delivers unrivaled performance. It's a game-changer for anyone who values their time and appreciates the convenience of swift data transfers.
The inclusion of a Type-C connector is a brilliant choice. With the increasing prevalence of Type-C ports on modern devices, this flash drive ensures seamless compatibility across a wide range of laptops, smartphones, and tablets. No more fumbling around for the right USB port – it's as plug-and-play as it gets.
The sleek and durable design of this Samsung flash drive is another plus. The brushed metal finish not only looks stylish but also feels robust in hand. Plus, it's small and compact, making it incredibly portable. I can easily slip it into my pocket or attach it to my keychain, ensuring my essential files are always within arm's reach.
The 256GB storage capacity is more than generous. It's ample space for my photos, videos, documents, and then some. Whether I'm storing my entire multimedia library or a hefty work project, this flash drive has space to spare.
In terms of reliability, Samsung's reputation for quality precedes it. I have confidence that my data is safe and secure on this flash drive, and the build quality inspires trust.
This Samsung Type-C USB Flash Drive is a revelation in the world of portable storage. Its speed, compatibility, and spaciousness make it a standout choice for anyone seeking a dependable solution for data transfer and storage needs. With this flash drive in your pocket, you're not just getting a storage device – you're getting a reliable, high-performance companion for all your digital adventures. Highly recommended!
Honestly, the price of these Samsung flash drives is cheap. The quality, reliability, and performance are what make Samsung. I bought two of these.
They are so easy to use. They have a unmount option you select when you want to unplug the flash drive and just plug it back in when you want to use it. They work on phones, tablets, cameras, desktops, laptops, and Im sure other devices.
It's magnet, x-ray, water, heat & and cold, and impact-proof. It's pretty much indestructible unless you're going to blow it up or shoot it with a gun. I seriously doubt you'll be doing any of that but if you do, invite me I'm free.
I'm sure another brand has one faster or holds more pictures. But do they have two decades of being the world's number 1 brand? Nope, they sure don't. So do yourself a favor and buy a couple of these and back up your pictures. You know the ones that can't be replaced. This flash drive will accept 4K video as well.
Oh, and I almost forgot. The look of it is pretty cool too. It fits between your fingers nicely and it's very very easy to use. And its small enough to fit on your key chain or even a neckless.
Top reviews from other countries
Roughly 100MB/s reads copying the entire drive, writes are twice as fast as SanDisk 3.0 which are the next best thing for the size and quality (40+ and 25MB/s respectively). Excellent drive for regular large file transfers if saving a few mins is worthwhile to you.
(edit: added image) -> also, note that speeds in the image are relevent for practical use cases. i'm transferring a bunch of xxxMB to x,xxxMB videos and usually you don't transfer 200gigs at a time, so this is the first few gigs of a large transfer. the first few video files that transfer to the usb use up the embedded SDRAM and finish writing after it tells the operating system that it's done and ready for me. sdram modules are super quick but expensive so much flash drives have very limited sdram.
as expected, speeds drop but only to 90MBps (megaBYTES, not megaBITS). compare that to any other flash drive in this price range which isn't 2.5" large and you'll quickly notice the tranfer rates for others plummet within a gigabyte of data transferred, but this drive keeps writing at >70-80MBps which is amazing! not 25-30 megabytes per second like i'm used to but sustainably over 3x that from even usb flash drives marketed as 3.1usb for file transfers. they're not lying, persay, because they'll transfer at that speed to their sdram for the first 800MB, but slow to 20-30 in short order.
i'm transferring 100 gigs sustained at 80+ megabytes with a usb controller on its own pcie lanes via adapter card (so it's not going through the motherboard's chipset). this is as fast as this drive gets, and for the price difference it's well worth it for anyone regularly using this drive to transfer large files. these are real figures on linux from 5 mins ago Ubuntu LTS 21 and 22. I am very, very impressed with this thing the more i benchmark it.
