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.
1 incher makes em go crazy
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.

These have been on sale for at least a few weeks now. I bought a few of the 64gb for the current price of $10.99 on Dec 19th to use as a proxmox installer and another for an Unraid boot drive in my new Terramaster NAS. Unfortunately it was actually a bit too big to fit inside the NAS (didn't want it in the outside) so I had to use a PNY Elite X Fit instead. I did notice that the PNY gets extremely hot when writing to it for a while, but the Samsung barely even gets warm. I think they'd both be fine as boot drives, but time will tell I suppose.

Quote from Darkhors3 :
I had two of these and both of the plastic tabs broke and I lost one of the two. I keep mine on my keychain and the plastic breaks easily after normal wear and tear. Since then I have switched to the Sandisk Loop (which is no longer listed on Amazon) becuase of the 'All Metal' design.
Because of the small form factor, i'm just going to leave it plugged into the usb port on my laptop.
shouldnt be a problem putting the laptop in my laptop bag (with this usb drive facing up towards the opening of the bag)

Is Fit Plus or Bar Plus better for Tesla dashcam and sentry mode?

Too tiny imo. I have one and learnt my lesson after losing it multiple times around the house. I don't buy anything smaller than traditional flash drive form factor or larger than those. There is a sweet spot.

These are excellent -- I had a 128gb for a year and used it for hours every day for word files, etc (nothing big or streaming). Buying another b/c I lost it.

Have been using 4 of these in a ZFS pool on RPi, running 24x7 for over 2 yrs now. These are rock solid and just warm to touch.

Just leave it in the machine. That's what I plan to do with my laptop, even as i travel to different cities on vacation.
Thats why i bought such a small form factor

I was considering purchasing one of these to use as an mp3 usb drive for the car radio. Wondering how it would hold up in south FL heat.

Your vehicle may only do FAT 32 and some won't do over 32gb. Center console should be safe.
