These drives introduce more storage capacity to the lineup in the same sleek designs, perfect for storing your tunes, photos/videos, and important work or school documents. These USB flash drives help you backup your data and save time thanks to their high capacity, quick speeds, wide device compatibility, and reliability.

“We recognize that professionals across USA have more data storage needs than ever. That’s why we’re introducing a new size option within our cutting-edge BAR Plus and FIT Plus USB flash drive line-up, ensuring there is a storage solution for everyone,” said Jose Hernandez, senior director, memory product marketing, Samsung. “The drives are also intentionally designed to fit your personal style – whether you prefer something sleek and modern or unassuming and traditional, you can always be plugged in.”

The 512GB options offer read speeds of up to 400MB/s and write speeds up to 110MB/s. With both USB flash drives, you can transfer a 3GB 4K UHD video file to your PC in 10s ⁽¹⁾. Plus, it’s versatile thanks to its compatibility with any device that uses a USB 3.1 port, and it’s also backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. For easy use, they are compatible with OSs like Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.

• The compact FIT Plus USB flash drive is designed to plug in and stay in your device for a seamless and unobtrusive look. It’s for laptops, tablets, televisions, car audio systems, gaming consoles, and more.
