It works, but I don't think I'll be buying it again.

I started out by purchasing 1 flash drive with 64 GB from a reputable retailer. The largest benefit, despite the fact that it's bad, is her appearance. I have a complete box containing forty different flash drives, ranging from the most costly to the most common, and this one, in my opinion, is the most gorgeous of the lot. She just looks like a bomb. She also has a great performance when it comes to reading large files; 64 gigabytes have approximately 200-220 megabytes / s, I don't remember exactly, and 128 gigabytes have 291 mb / s. But darn it! The other characteristics of the flash drive are abhorrent, especially considering the price. If you say you watch 4k movies from a flash drive, then it will completely pull this task, but for small files and frequent recordings of large amounts of data - this flash drive is absolutely not suitable! I have a flash drive whose read speeds are almost equal to those of SSD drives, and small files are written and read just as quickly. Samsung can only boast of reading large files, so if you say you watch 4k movies from a flash drive, then it will completely pull this task. But even if you just record one movie in 4K, which has a file size of 60GB, you should be prepared for over a half-hour of "marathon" time.

Pros

The most stunning flash drive, with excellent performance when reading through large files. Unfortunately, that's all there is.

Cons

The initial 64GB flash drive only lasted a month before it died, which could have been caused by something like static electricity; but, I will say this: in all of my experience working with flash drives, not a single flash drive has ever died on me! And at this point, I own more than forty of them; nevertheless, I recently got rid of another twenty of them because, in terms of speed and volume, they are no longer relevant. Unfortunately, even though this Fedya flash drive is an extremely protected type that is shielded from water and other elements, it failed. When I contacted the Samsung firm, I nearly lost my mind because they refused to repair the product under warranty and said that the flash drive had been purchased from a retailer that was not an authorized Samsung retailer. I would not have imagined this behavior even from a manufacturer with no reputation, much less from Samsung! However, praise be to God, I was successful in taking it back to the store where I had originally purchased it. Now I have a flash drive of 128 gigabytes, and because the rest of their drawbacks are comparable to 64 gigabytes, I got it. The write speed is extremely slow, at no more than 30-45 mb/s, and all of the indications are lower at 64 gigabytes than they are at 128 gigabytes. All of the other rates, including writing small files and reading small files, are extremely slow; 10-15 mb/s, Samsung, are you kidding me?! The price of this flash drive is another major drawback; if it were not for the goodies that come with it, I would not purchase it, regardless of how beautiful it is; the most important aspect of a flash drive for me is its functionality; however, this is not the case with Samsung flash drives. It heats up fairly strongly, but the most important thing is that it would not burn out due to overheating - time will tell if this is the case.
