Form factor. Performance is virtually identical.



Practically speaking, the USB 2.0 bus tops out around 50MB/s. However, most USB 2.0 flash drives don't come anywhere close to that. If you're talking about external hard drives or SSDs, then it's another story. As for the Samsung FIT/BAR Plus, peak sequential reads/writes top out around 420/115MB/s and random 4K reads writes can hit 13/24MB/s. For a USB flash drive these numbers are excellent. I've seen many flash drives that have 4K random writes that hover at a pathetic ~10KB/s (0.01MB/s). Using a journaled filesystem (like NTFS or EXT4) will be downright painful on them. That said, I've seen performance degradation on the Samsung drives.



Technically correct but throughput capability of the interface is of limited relevance when discussing performance of specific drives.

I think you're confusing these with the Sandisk drives in a similar small form factor. I've had 0 problems with any Samsung Fit drives and they are fast and cool, never even warm.

I have two of these. They get very hot if accessed and sometimes would corrupt. Always make sure this is not storing something very important.

I also have two that I have owned for over a year and they do not get hot at all. No corruption either.

what's the difference between this Samsung FIT 256gb and the Samsung BAR 256gb for the same $20?

I've set up two of these for friends. Loaded a bunch of movies and shows onto these for use with their in car entertainment systems. Considering how hot and cold the Midwest can be, and I've gotten zero complaints, these seem pretty durable.

The slowest USB 3.0 connection is rated for 5Gbps transfer speeds, which translates to a theoretical bandwidth of 640MBps (on par with a SATA III connection), while a USB2.0 drive's theoretical speed is 480Mbps which is about 60MBps… so roughly 10 times.

Thanks for bringing this up because it's hella true.

I had those SanDisk thumb drives for my portable tablet and work laptop to expand memory for work and to have some entertainment while traveling for work. They do sorta work, but the second you try to move large amounts of data they get scorching hot and just stop working.

If these do not do that, I'm in for two. Also, I'll never trust SanDisk again.
