This One Works in the 2026 Honda Passport and by Extension the 2027 Honda Pilot
Size: 256 GB Color: Blue
The 2026 Honda Passport is very finicky as to what thumb drives will work for play your own music as opposed to streaming music from a service. The 2026 Honda Passport has a USB C port only. Honda did away with the older USB type ports for the latest model change overs. I tried a SANDISK 128GB Extreme Fit USB-C thumb drive which did not work, not recognizable by the 2026 Honda Passport infotainment operating system. This one however works fine. It can hold my entire mp3 music library with room to spare. It comes formatted with FAT32 which is required by the Honda Passport infotainment system per the manual. So it does not need to be nor should be reformatted for this application. It fits well in the USB C port and does not stick out too far. It loads somewhat faster than my SAMSUNG FIT Plus 3.1 USB Flash Drives with an adapter. Speed is important with the 2026 Honda Passport since 95% of the time it must reload all the metadata each time the car is restarted. This causes it to lose its place in any playlist, that was playing through, when the car was last turned off. In addition until it reloads everything you can only search by folder name, not artist, song, nor genre, just by folder. Reloading about 50 gigs worth of music metadata into the Honda infotainment system takes about five minutes. This drive only got moderately warm when being written to or read from. It took about 30 minutes to write the 50 gigs worth of music to this drive via a USB 3.1 USB port with a 3.1 USB to USB adapter. I recommend staying with the smaller drive sizes or just not loading them up too much due to how slow the Honda's infotainment system OS is. ... show more

This is my Windows install stick. It does that job.
Size: 128 GB Color: Blue
I formatted this 128 GB Samsung Type-C drive as a Windows installer and have used it to set up a PC more than once. That is the whole use case. It shows up reliably in the boot menu. The installer copies without stalling or dropping the drive mid-setup. Type-C is convenient on a modern board; I am not hunting for a USB-A port on the back of the case. 128 GB is more space than a Windows image needs, so the same stick can hold drivers or a second ISO if I want. It is not magic. Speeds depend on the port. For an install USB I care that it is recognized and that the write finishes, not whether it hits the 400 MB/s on the box. Blue plastic, compact, stays on a hook until I need it. I would buy this again for the same job. ... show more

Fast and reliable - perfect for the iPhone 15
Size: 256 GB Color: Blue
I recently purchased the SAMSUNG Type-C USB Flash Drive, and I am impressed with its performance and features. **Speed Demon:** This little blue wonder lives up to its promise of lightning-fast data transfers. The up to 400MB/s read speeds make it an absolute game-changer for anyone who values their time. Note that the write speeds are significantly slower. **Universal Compatibility:** I appreciate the USB type-c compatibility, making it future-proof and ensuring seamless connections with modern devices. The backward compatibility with USB 3.0/2.0 ensures it works with a wide range of devices. **Waterproof Marvel:** Accidents happen, but with this drive, I know my data is safe, come rain or shine. It's a relief to have a tech device that can weather the storm. **Generous Storage:** With 256GB of storage, this flash drive is a portable powerhouse. Whether it's documents, photos, or backups, there's ample space to accommodate my needs without constantly worrying about running out of room. **Sturdy Build:** The build quality is top-notch. It feels sturdy in hand, and the robust construction gives me confidence that it can withstand the rigors of daily use. **Sleek Design:** The sleek blue design is not just about aesthetics; it also makes the drive easy to spot in a cluttered bag. The retractable design protects the USB connector when not in use, adding an extra layer of durability. One thing to note is it does not fit through my Lamicall protective case. I purchased an extender to make it fit. In conclusion, the SAMSUNG Type-C USB Flash Drive is a stellar combination of speed, reliability, and durability. If you're in need of a high-performance flash drive that doesn't compromise on design and comes with the added bonus of being waterproof, look no further. This is a must-have gadget for anyone who values efficiency and peace of mind in their digital life! ... show more

Ridiculously compact, very fast, probably won't fit your phone or tablet if you use a case on it
Size: 128 GB Color: Blue
I like this a lot. I've been wanting a USB-C flash drive for a while and when I finally got a new (previous-gen) Ipad with USB-C it seemed like the perfect time to go for it. It is quite fast. I never experience the crazy speeds that get advertised with portable storage but this is definitely faster than a USB-A flash drive. It made moving files on to the ipad so easy to just plug this in, have the ipad immediately recognize it and move the files where I wanted them. It seems to work even faster transferring to the ipad than to/from my PC's, but that's just an anecdotal observation. It is CRAZY compact. TINY. That's a good thing and a bad thing. In the past I kept a small USB-A flash drive on my keychain carabiner and lost it when it came off of the carabiner. This is even smaller so I am very cautious about not losing it. On top of that, it has a removable cap that is just begging to get lost. It's not super loose, but it doesn't take much effort to intentionally uncap it. But, both the cap and the drive itself have those tiny little loops to attach a phone wrist strap. I had an extra one lying around so I looped it through both the drive and the cap. It keeps the two pieces together and the wrist strap is about 4 times longer than the drive itself so it makes it harder to lose, though that does make the package you're carrying less tiny. But, it's small size makes it convenient to plug into devices, especially devices you use portably. You don't have a huge stick jutting out of a USB port on a laptop or phone, which is nice. Just be aware that you'll need to be very careful not to lose this. It's CRAZY small. I noticed it can get pretty warm when you transfer a lot of files at once. Only when it's working hard; it doesn't get hot when it's idly plugged in or anything. It's pretty nifty, but it has a problem. I'm not going to say it's a flaw of this device, but the kind of phone and tablet cases that you can always keep on your device do not have holes around the USB-C ports that are big enough to plug this in. There's not enough clearance in the cuts on those cases for the plastic body of this to fit through and the plug itself can't plug-in. I'm certainly no expert on mobile device cases; it took me a long time (and multiple destroyed phones) to finally start using one. Maybe there are some cases out there that this would fit in, but my assumption is the ones I have are typical so I imagine most cases won't allow you to plug this drive in. And, of course, those cases are designed to stay on all the time, so they're kind of a pain to pry off just to plug this in quickly. Makes it inconvenient. Now, if you're someone who carries your phone without a case or slips your ipad in a padded sleeve rather than a cover/case that's always attached, this'll be great. It's so easy to use to get files to/from your mobile devices. But keep in mind what kind of case you use because it might negate the convenience of this. If you DO use an always-on case, I'd recommend getting an external SSD that you would attach with a USB-C cable. I have an older Samsung SSD that I haven't used so much for a while, but now I'm using it a lot because a standard USB-C cable's plug fits in my ipad case just fine. Either that or find a small little USB-C-to-C dongle/adapter/extender that will give you a plug with a standard cable casing that'll fit into this flash drive, though again, that kind of negates some of it's convenience by having to add another adapter into the mix. In summary, it's a really nifty and fast and TINY drive. I'll leave it to others to scientifically benchmark and critique speed and performance, but to a casual observer it works well. But it's size can be a double-edged sword if you're not careful, and if you keep your mobile device in a case/shell at all times, it's probably not going to fit into the USB-C port. ... show more

Nice USB-C flash drive to play music in a car
Size: 128 GB Color: Blue
I needed a USB-C flash drive to load music in our new Audi. Our old car had built-in hard drive space and you'd transfer the files over. Now you have to leave the drive plugged into the charging port in the center console and the media program reads the catalog from there. This flash drive was recommended for its superfast read time @ 400MB/s which means the car can scan and play the music much faster than a slower drive. At 128GBs this drive will hold 10x the music files that my old car held. I won't have to limit groups to just their greatest hits. Now I can have entire catalogs loaded. I would suggest to anyone creating a carplay music folder to keep a copy of the folder on their computer. At some point all flash drives will fail and to be safe you should have your media folder mirrored on your hard drive. I feel like this drive is built to last and hopefully it'll keep running as smooth as it does right now for the time that we own the car. ... show more

Fast but it depends on the drive format - Tested
Size: 128 GB Color: Blue
I purchased this Samsung flash drive (128GB) along with a USB C-to-A adapter that came with a small lanyard. This provides me the same features and small size of my older, slower Sandisk dual interface USB flash drive. Samsung's claim of up to 400 MB/s is a truthful claim but it is highly dependent on how you format the drive. I attached screenshots of the different formats I used, each benchmarked to show the effect. Formats tested: ExFAT - MBR ExFAT - GUID NTFS - GUID FAT32 - MBR (default format from Samsung) Mac OS Extended Journaled - Apple Partition Map Summary: Mac OS Journaled was the fastest overall format. It exceeded Samsung's stated speed of up to 400MB/s, and had the best performance in Random read/write. This format is only compatible with Mac OS so it's not very practical for a general use drive where you may be sharing data across different platforms. FAT32 on an MBR partition was the slowest. Samsung clearly chose to ship the drive with this format since it has the broadest compatibility, but that ancient format comes with a significant loss of speed and a 4GB limitation on the size of any single file (think video file). 289 MB/s was the highest read speed (sequential) achieved - respectable for a flash drive but you're leaving money on the table. I would definitely use any format other than this. In my opinion, the most compatible format with high speed, and practically no limitation to the size of a single file, would be ExFAT on a GUID or MBR partition. I'd go MBR if you plan to use it as a bootable OS install drive for older operating systems. Go GUID partition for everything else. Formatted as ExFAT on a GUID partition, I performed a real world test where I copied a 5.84GB file to the drive and it took 87 seconds to complete. That works out to an overall write speed of ~ 67 MB/s. Copying that same file from the drive back to it took 14 seconds. That works out to an overall read speed of ~ 417 MB/s. The slower write speed makes this drive not very good for directly running a Virtual Machine (VM). For that, I would just go with an NVME drive installed in an external USB enclosure - worlds faster... The computer used for all testing is an Intel-based iMac (2020) with i7 CPU. ... show more

A stellar first impression
Size: 256 GB Color: Blue
Just received delivery of my Samsung Type-C USB Flash Drive, 256GB, and I'm already feeling excited about this purchase. The striking blue color and compact design had me hooked right out of the box. It's small enough to fit in my pocket, yet feels solid and well-built. The setup was absolutely effortless. I love that it's compatible with both my older USB 2.0 laptop and the newer USB 3.0 desktop, providing a seamless experience. The Type-C connector is an excellent addition, allowing me to directly plug it into my phone and tablet without the need for any adapters. Performance-wise, this flash drive is a rocket! I transferred a 4GB movie file as a test, and it was done in a flash which is noticeably faster than any of my previous flash drives. I was also drawn to the waterproof feature. While I haven't had the opportunity (or mishap) to test this claim yet, it's comforting to know that an accidental splash won't spell doom for my data. The 256GB capacity is perfect for me. It's ample space for my work files, personal photos, and the occasional movie or series. Delivery was swift, and the product arrived in impeccable condition, neatly packaged with easy-to-understand instructions. My initial impression is overwhelmingly positive. It's fast, it's versatile, and it appears to be durable. While it's still early days, I'm highly optimistic about this flash drive's performance in the long run. ... show more

Best USB-C flash drive I've found so far.
Size: 256 GB Color: Blue
I use my phone for video camera work. For context, I bought a 1TB phone specifically because of that. I may take 250-300GB of video in one weekend. MTP is far too pathetically slow method to transfer such large amounts of video from my phone to my PC, and Cloud methods are not really any better. So, for such situations I usually use a portable media device such as flash drive or external NVMe to do the transfer. Copy it from my phone to the flash drive, copy off of the drive onto my PC. Fastest method by far. I have lately been using a NVMe USB enclosure for this purpose, but due to NVMe's (relatively) high power draw, I have to use a USB dongle with power input while making the transfer. Not the end of the world but far from convenient. In the past I have experimented with other USB-C drives, but they've all been far too slow in the write department to be realistic. You may have 300MB/s of read but if your write speed is a paltry 21-22MB/s, you're as good as useless for me. This was the case for the older Samsung USB-A flash drives, and even the newer USB 3.1 gray ones. This one, by contrast, is still not amazing on writes which is to be expected for a traditional flash drive, but it is FAR better than any USB-C drives I have used in the past. On very large transfers (100+GB) it usually settles down to around 75-80MB/s within the first 30 seconds or so, and stays at that speed for the entire transfer. Doesn't get too hot (just warm) and works well. Reads are excellent so far. On Windows I'm getting around 365MB/s continuously. The only real issue with this drive is on very large reads, it will overheat. It gets quite hot on these high speed reads and after around 75-80GB, mine disconnected and stopped the transfer. Thankfully Windows seems pretty good about file management and after it sits for a while and cools down, hitting Try Again seems to work reliably. Overall very happy with this drive. It's pretty darn small for 256GB, and fast enough that I can deal with it for the convenience of not needing to use any dongles. ... show more
