Our Verdict
The Samsung BAR Plus 256GB combines a durable metal body with fast USB 3.1 reads, which Samsung rates at up to 400 MB/s, among the fastest USB-A flash drives we list. Write speeds are lower, around 110 MB/s, still quick enough for presentations, documents and photos. With nearly 13,000 Amazon ratings at 4.7 stars and a 5-year warranty, it has a strong record. The keyring loop makes it practical for everyday carry, and Samsung says the casing resists water, shock and magnets. Choose the BAR Plus for fast reads in a sturdy carry drive; for a drive that stays plugged in, the Samsung FIT Plus, and for USB-C, the Samsung Type-C 256GB.
