Just to let people know 400 is just the read speed. Write speed is trash. No you will not be loading a bluray rip on this in 30 seconds.
Bought several of these over the last couple of years. Fantastic performance, no parts to break, no cap to lose. This is a great deal (the black one @ $25) on a fabulous flash drive. Get this if you need one, price on this model probably won't be lower on BF
Same price on Samsung.com in case you'd rather get it straight from the source. Plus, extra $1.25 EPP discount.

Edit: some people are reporting shipping is $5 but I can't reproduce that. Shipping appears to be free in my case. So YMMV.

Much as I love these drives (I have a few) for $2.50 more you can get the Sandisk 256GB dual USB-A/USB-C thumb drive, which IMO is a far better deal and much more futureproof.

I have one of this SanDisk on link provided, it does get hot and expands the hinge covering the usb and it'll be useless and wiggles freely Does not lock in place anymore

Even at the same price you'd be saving more with Amazon ($50 off) than Samsung ($15 off).

But can you trust amazon they're genuine?

I've literally done that several times on this using an m1 Mac, something's off on your end bud

With BF just around the corner, I am going to hold off and see what kind of deals we'll get.
i'm just not understanding this holding off idea i keep seeing over and over. there's a 1/31/23 free return date on this and many amz items, so why not get the deal now and simply return it if a better deal comes along? what the hell is the gamble here? so tired of the black friday's coming reason. damn.

that's a good read speed to run Tails Linux on it. A good travel companion in case your main laptop is down. Go to an internet cafe and plug in. Boom you hijack that host's memory and when you pull out, no trace

Pay attention to actual speed instead of paper spec.

Fyi the keychain hole on this is unusable. Astonishingly so.

The only good Keychain drive I've found is the DTSE9G2. Kingston I think. Super fast, super slim, metal unibody and very sturdy.
Unfortunately those also have trash write speeds despite being recommended all the time. I have handfuls of those. Great for tools and utilities, but definitely not super fast, or fast @ 100MB/s rated but way slower in real life.

The FLAIR [amazon.com] on the other hand is quite speedy @ 150MB/s and always cheap. I am comparing it to an Extreme Pro [amazon.com] which is basically a pocket SSD that has write speeds up to 380MB/s

You're comparing a $25 drive to a $60 one. See a problem here? I mean yes the Extreme Pros are faster but they also come at quite a premium. For the price you could get a much faster NVME and toss in a $15 enclosure. At $25 these Samsung bars are pretty nice drives. Certainly the write speed won't win any awards.

$25 it's worth it if you need this that is.

Can confirm, although I am not sure I would call it "trash", more disappointing.

Just bought a 128GB this week. Read speeds around 450MBps but writes limited to about 60MBps. Depending on what you bought it for that is totally usable.
