Review on Titan Gray Samsung BAR Plus 256GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive (MUF-256BE4/AM) with Up to 400MB/s Transfer Speed by Wiktor Wiater ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

- For the price of 3,290 (03/02/2023), I decided to go with the Samsung USB3.1 256GB MUF-256BE3/APC option (Champagne Silver color). - Instantly formatted using the default settings for the exFAT file system. - As an aside, when I was formatting, I came upon a really wonderful moment. It seems to have better qualities than another flash drive (UFD 3.2 Gen.2 SmartBuy 256GB M5 Dual Type-C / Type-A), which I formatted practically simultaneously with this one. the same dimensions, and the same formatting choices. A couple of minutes ago, I started the formatting process on an additional flash drive. The flash drive manufactured by Samsung ended up being formatted early. And quite a bit early. Looking at the progress meter, it appeared that the other flash disk still had approximately one fifth of its capacity remaining. Samsung was formatted uniformly, and the second flash drive appeared to "fly away" for up to around 35-45% of the time, racing well ahead of Samsung. However, beyond the halfway point, it started to "deflate," and towards the finish, it moved extremely slowly. Samsung was formatted uniformly. Only the most naive individuals will comprehend what is taking place here. - I didn't include the price in the minus because, in comparison to other flash drives available at the time of my order, it was virtually on par with the going rate, and, moreover, we are talking about Samsung here. And I won't even bother making a comparison to an external HDD or SSD because. Portability and ergonomics were very essential aspects of the product. - Because every advantage much outweighs any disadvantage, I don't see why we should put 4 in there just yet. The disadvantages are not significant at this point.

Pros
  • - Beautiful design. I like how it looks. In the same manner as a piece of metal. Form that is interesting. - Construction and design with a focus on functionality. The size is satisfactory. Not extremely little in size like flash drives or Bluetooth adapters. It's not a huge deal because there are still "classic" flash drives and even some external HDDs out there. One solid piece, with no moving parts at all. If you trust the description, this item is protective, since it is waterproof, heat-resistant, shock-resistant, and even magnetic-resistant and X-ray-resistant. Even if we were protected from radiation, viruses, and zombies, it would be a wonderful thing. When compared to many other less convenient possibilities, such as those in which the item slips or, more generally, is not convenient to pick up, it is highly convenient to pull out a flash drive because of the protruding shape that contains a hole in it. And this asymmetric shape along the horizontal plane is beneficial since it is easy to recognize the "top" of the flash drive, and you can quickly get used to placing it into the typical connectors the first time you use it. - Excellent technical attributes that, in all respects, conform to those that have been declared. Excellent speed, reaching up to 400 MB/s. The memory controllers continued to work well and reliably, as has become customary for Samsung. At the very least for the initial day. Let's find out how long it lasts, because if there aren't any flaws in it, then it ought to last for a very long time.
Cons
  • - The cover is odd to say the least. It's beyond my comprehension, but whatever it is, it's awful. Attempts to fall off twice. There are already stripes, as if I've been pulling and inserting it back and forth continuously for a couple of months without pausing, as a result of the few of times that I've placed it into a fully normal nest. Despite the fact that I had already used this socket quite a few times on a variety of other flash drives and cables, I did not notice this when it was attached to metal. Using a wire that I've had for a few years, I attempted to capture a picture as an example to show what I mean. Although I don't generally plug this cable into this socket because it's often connected to a charger for my smartphone, it has happened on occasion, and the total number of times I've done so is well over a hundred. Additionally, this wire has been connected multiple times in a variety of different locations. However, if one were to look very closely, it would appear to be brand new and almost completely unnoticeable. In addition, the flash drive has what appears to be some kind of covering on it. However, why? It is still composed of metal. Why bother covering some stupid metal with metal? Strange occurrence. - On the surface, you may see a few minuscule imperfections that aren't really that important. To begin, in areas where the eye or hole for the rope does not have a particularly excellent surface polish, a series of little "notches" can be seen, appearing to be a seam between two separate components. It would appear that this is a difficult area to access for processing or polishing. In spite of this, the details are quite minute, and it appears to be quite challenging. However, if there is a seam at all, it is unclear why it was made in this particular location given that it might have been made in another location. If it is not a seam, then the nature of it is not immediately apparent. OK. In general, if you do not stare directly in front of your eyes, you will not be able to see what is in front of you. One of the stripes in the letter 'A' in the brand name "SAMSUNG" has a slightly different texture, and the difference is particularly noticeable in certain lighting conditions. I don't know if this was a mistake or if it was intentional. However, it is interesting to look at. Now we're getting into the realm of nitpicking.
