fast speed

It has great speeds

The read speed is pretty decent, but I wasn't getting anywhere near the advertised transfer speeds

I started reviewing the low-star reviews on other Samsung flash drives and there seems to be a pattern with many of their USB 3 flash drives - Complaints of slow speeds comparable to USB 2.0.

Better speeds and consistency as well

The speed is not that good.

The speeds are very good, and it does not heat up like its sandisk counterparts

Rarely get good speeds.

R/W speeds seem great.

Modest write speed

Outstanding speed when used with USB 3.0 port.

Great speeds, with the reads surpassing the advertised rate

Unacceptably slow speeds to the point were I'd expect this card to completely fail shortly

I love the size & speed of it.

Amazing speed; Amazing capacity; Amazing price.

The lanyard hole is very small, the speed is kind of slow, there is no protective cap/dust cover, and it only comes in white

Pretty slow write speeds, but good for people looking to store documents etc.

Super fast r/w speeds

With this drive I always get wonderful read speeds (about 130 MB/s) and very reasonable write speeds (30 - 60 MB/s)

On the hotter Sandisk drives, even ones offering higher ostensible speeds, the overheating causes the drives to throttle the speed down, so I would rarely get better speeds than a USB 2 drive

Very fast speeds over USB 3.0 as well.

works well for a car usb music stick since it is really small and compact, has nice speeds of up to 30 mbps, at least what i was able to get from it, wasn't using the 3.0 port so that was the bottleneck

Works great, small size, fast speeds.

Works well and speeds are great

Dear Samsung,A LOT of people seem to be having problems with TERRIBLY slow speeds on this series of flash drives - Slower than even a cheap garbage USB 2.0 drive when doing large file transfers - And your answer is always "As several factors could affect speed, I would encourage you to call Samsung

On the hotter Sandisk drives, even ones offering higher ostensible speeds, the overheating causes the drives to throttle the speed down, so I would rarely get better speeds than a USB 2 drive

The speed of this drive in a USB 3.0 port is faster than a USB 2.0 drive, but is much slower than other USB 3.0 drive i have.

Insanely fast transfer speeds (Read ~120MBps), between 30 and 50MBps write speeds, and is so small it does not take up much space at all

Awesome transfer speed

Really disappointed, the read speed can up to

Speed is fast

Get good transfer speeds

The fastest the speed shown during the process was 22 MB/s

The speed is fast because it's a USB 3.0 flash drive.

Worked as expected, very good r\w speed, just little bit pricey compare to other credible brands.

then the speed slows to 10MB/s.

if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=128k" and "iostat -mx 1 sdb" shows a great sequential read speed of 133 MB/

Test option: device manager policy - optimized for performanceThis drive is good as advertised, pretty good seq reading speed (~140MB/s)

Unbelievably slow transfer speeds

Pros:+ Very quick speeds - upward of 150MB/sec transfer times+

The speed is good enough

Excellent build quality, fast read speed, although not so fast write speed.

Good speeds but sometimes disconnects and not while it is under load.

The speeds are quite good and should work well for the application I have in mind

, so read speeds are good enough for my purposes and no heat issues.

Counterfeit flash drives seem to be a problem as they often look very similar to the real thing, but they are inferior quality and have slow transfer speeds and may have a lot less than the advertised storage

For such a small flash drive, it's speeds are amazing!

the running speed is very slow

3.0 or not, regardless of port, speeds when benched was extremely optimistic

it <3 I am a dj and I use this for the CDJ's the speed and quality is just great

Unfortunately, the Samsung Fit has terrible write speeds

When I did a real world test, the speeds were a little disappointing

It does not become as hot during active usage as other vendors the speed is good and full hd videos work excellent

The speeds are horrible (25MB/s as opposed to the expected 130MB/s)

Great storageoplossingen capacity and speed for price: a bang for your buck!

On small files the write speed was horrendous, going as slow as 4 MB/s

.. recommended by pcworld's website) which indicated that the speed on this sucker is indeed much faster than your standard usb 2.0 thumb drive, over 100 MB / second for read and write speeds.. more than fast enough for my purposes :)

Slow write speed, but hey you buy this for the size!

Speed is not an important factor for serving my music library to my car audio and it works perfectly in that application

Speed is great.

Fast download speed of files

It holds data, and decent speeds, however, about halfway its drops to a crawl, both tests and real life application, not sure if its faulty or by design

Great speeds, runs a bit hot sometimes when you transfer a lot of files

I will definitely be buying a 256 GB version whenever that is released and using it for my initial intention of compact, high-speed storage for my Xbox.

works well and has fast transfer speeds (writing).

However, the writing speed is worse than SanDisk counterpart and my 5400RPM HDD...which really disappoint me

Very fast speeds, and secure fit

Slow transfer speeds on my Windows 10 laptop.

Small, compact, good write speeds of about 18 megs a sec, and high reading speeds.

This would have been the perfect product but heat, interference, slow speeds, allow me to only use it occasionally, especially not a laptop

Reformatting to NTFS gives you an additional speed boost, as opposed to using FAT32.

Terrible write speed

read and write in decent speed, but goes pretty hot easily

Slow write speeds

The read speeds are perfectly fine, but I find it very annoying when I'm trying to transfer files to the drive

I have a handful of these that are used for Linux OS install/testing and they run at a very usable speed, with no noted heat issues

It has good speed while copying data.

This would have been the perfect product but heat, interference, slow speeds, allow me to only use it occasionally, especially not a laptop

Speed of information transfer is wonderful and the 32 GB is a lot of information.

Excellent speed on loading files, although I have not done any real benchmarks

The speed and performance of this drive is excellent

Test option: device manager policy - optimized for performanceThis drive is good as advertised, pretty good seq reading speed (~140MB/s)

The write is disappointing at around 20MB/s

With this drive I always get wonderful read speeds (about 130 MB/s) and very reasonable write speeds (30 - 60 MB/s)

The skinny: with large files it copies as fast as 30 MB/s, which is horrible for USB 3 device

On small files the write speed was horrendous, going as slow as 4 MB/s
