SamsungType-C 512GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive, 400MB/s, External Memory and Storage for Computers, Mobile Devices, MUF-512DA4/AM, Gray, 2024

To say this thing is tiny would be an understatement, but it works amazingly well. Transferring data from my computer or phone is extremely fast and easy, and the amount of space allows for storage of huge amounts of data. I used one to back up my entire work laptop, and I use a second one to back up all the photos on my phone. If you're using an Android phone, it's as easy as plugging it into the port and it is immediately recognized as a storage device, especially on Samsung devices.If I had an issue, it would be the tiny cap that comes with it. The entire package is tiny, and the cap is even smaller. There are small loop holes on both the item and the cap, but it's so small that not much will fit through it. I ended up using some thick hobby thread to tie the cap to the device so I won't lose the cap. Of course, it is probably fine to use without the cap.A word on durability: I accidentally washed one of them in a pocket of my pants. It went through the entire cycles of the washer and dryer, and worked perfectly afterwards. While I would not recommend doing this to your important stored media, it is reassuring to know that liquids like rain or coffee spilled at your desk is unlikely to harm it.

I decided to buy this to avoid paying for additional storage on any cloud, so I can just plugged it to my smartphone and save large size videos and photos as I am a photographer myself, good quality, pretty fast and works well, it doesn't heat up too much so I would actually recommend it.

I like this a lot. I've been wanting a USB-C flash drive for a while and when I finally got a new (previous-gen) Ipad with USB-C it seemed like the perfect time to go for it.It is quite fast. I never experience the crazy speeds that get advertised with portable storage but this is definitely faster than a USB-A flash drive. It made moving files on to the ipad so easy to just plug this in, have the ipad immediately recognize it and move the files where I wanted them. It seems to work even faster transferring to the ipad than to/from my PC's, but that's just an anecdotal observation.It is CRAZY compact. TINY. That's a good thing and a bad thing. In the past I kept a small USB-A flash drive on my keychain carabiner and lost it when it came off of the carabiner. This is even smaller so I am very cautious about not losing it.On top of that, it has a removable cap that is just begging to get lost. It's not super loose, but it doesn't take much effort to intentionally uncap it.But, both the cap and the drive itself have those tiny little loops to attach a phone wrist strap. I had an extra one lying around so I looped it through both the drive and the cap. It keeps the two pieces together and the wrist strap is about 4 times longer than the drive itself so it makes it harder to lose, though that does make the package you're carrying less tiny.But, it's small size makes it convenient to plug into devices, especially devices you use portably. You don't have a huge stick jutting out of a USB port on a laptop or phone, which is nice.Just be aware that you'll need to be very careful not to lose this. It's CRAZY small.I noticed it can get pretty warm when you transfer a lot of files at once. Only when it's working hard; it doesn't get hot when it's idly plugged in or anything.It's pretty nifty, but it has a problem. I'm not going to say it's a flaw of this device, but the kind of phone and tablet cases that you can always keep on your device do not have holes around the USB-C ports that are big enough to plug this in. There's not enough clearance in the cuts on those cases for the plastic body of this to fit through and the plug itself can't plug-in.I'm certainly no expert on mobile device cases; it took me a long time (and multiple destroyed phones) to finally start using one. Maybe there are some cases out there that this would fit in, but my assumption is the ones I have are typical so I imagine most cases won't allow you to plug this drive in.And, of course, those cases are designed to stay on all the time, so they're kind of a pain to pry off just to plug this in quickly. Makes it inconvenient.Now, if you're someone who carries your phone without a case or slips your ipad in a padded sleeve rather than a cover/case that's always attached, this'll be great. It's so easy to use to get files to/from your mobile devices. But keep in mind what kind of case you use because it might negate the convenience of this.If you DO use an always-on case, I'd recommend getting an external SSD that you would attach with a USB-C cable. I have an older Samsung SSD that I haven't used so much for a while, but now I'm using it a lot because a standard USB-C cable's plug fits in my ipad case just fine.Either that or find a small little USB-C-to-C dongle/adapter/extender that will give you a plug with a standard cable casing that'll fit into this flash drive, though again, that kind of negates some of it's convenience by having to add another adapter into the mix.In summary, it's a really nifty and fast and TINY drive. I'll leave it to others to scientifically benchmark and critique speed and performance, but to a casual observer it works well. But it's size can be a double-edged sword if you're not careful, and if you keep your mobile device in a case/shell at all times, it's probably not going to fit into the USB-C port.

The Samsung 128 GB USB Type‑C Flash Drive is a great balance of speed, portability, and durability—especially for modern devices with native USB‑C ports. It's perfect for fast read transfers, mobile backups, and daily carry. While write speeds are moderate and there’s no onboard encryption, it’s reliable, affordable, and built to last.

Tiny, nicely designed package with a lot of storage capacity and decent speed. I am a happy buyer.
